Answer : x = 3, y = -4; the equation has two solutions

We are given two systems of equation

y = 2x - 10--------- equation 1

y + 3x = 5 --------- equation 2

We need to find the value of x and y

To find the values of x and y, we will be solving these equations simultaneously using substitution method

Substitute equation 1 into equation 2

2x - 10 + 3x = 5

Collect the like terms

2x + 3x = 5 + 10

5x = 15

Divide both sides by 5

5x/5 = 15/5

x = 15/5

x = 3

To find the y, substitute the value of x = 3 into equation 1

y = 2(3) - 10

y = 6 - 10

y = -4

The value of x = 3 and y = -4 . Hence, the equation have two solutions
