Answer:

2x + 8y = 60= 30

5x + 4y = –10= -2

Explanation:

Simplifying

2x + -8y = 60

Solving

2x + -8y = 60

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '8y' to each side of the equation.

2x + -8y + 8y = 60 + 8y

Combine like terms: -8y + 8y = 0

2x + 0 = 60 + 8y

2x = 60 + 8y

Divide each side by '2'.

x = 30 + 4y

Simplifying

x = 30 + 4y
