Answer:

(1, -5)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations Y= 5x – 10 Y= 3x + 8​

SInce both of them are y function, we will equate them and find x first as shown;

5X - 10 = 3X + 8

collect like terms

5X-3X = -8 + 10

2X = 2

divide both sides by 2

2x/2 = 2/2

x = 1

Get y;

Substitute x = 1 into equation 1 to get y;

From 1: y = 5x-10

y = 5(1) -10

y = 5- 10

y = -5

Hence the solution to the given equation is (1, -5)
