Answer:

x = -1 , y = 5

Explanation:

Solve the following system:

{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)

x = y - 6 | (equation 2)

Express the system in standard form:

{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)

x - y = -6 | (equation 2)

Subtract 1/5 × (equation 1) from equation 2:

{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)

0 x - (8 y)/5 = -8 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by -5/8:

{5 x + 3 y = 10 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Subtract 3 × (equation 2) from equation 1:

{5 x+0 y = -5 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x+0 y = -1 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = 5 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: {x = -1 , y = 5
