Answer:

(- 10, 10 )

Explanation:

6x + 5y = - 10 ( subtract 6x from both sides )

5y = - 10 - 6x → (1)

3x + 5y = 20 → (2)

substitute 5y = - 10 - 6x into (2)

3x - 10 - 6x = 20

- 3x - 10 = 20 ( add 10 to both sides )

- 3x = 30 ( divide both sides by - 3 )

x = - 10

substitute x = - 10 into (2) and solve for y

3(- 10) + 5y = 20

- 30 + 5y = 20 ( add 30 to both sides )

5y = 50 ( divide both sides by 5 )

y = 10

solution is (- 10, 10 )
