The values of x and y are x = √-7/150 and y = 10√-7/150, respectively

How to determine the solution to the equations

From the question, we have the following parameters that can be used in our computation:

y = 2x * 5

5x * 3y = -7

When evaluated, we have

y = 10x

5x * 3y = -7

Substitute the known values into the equation

5x * 3 * 10x = -7

150x² = -7

So, we have

x = √-7/150

Recall that

y = 10x

So, we have

y = 10√-7/150

hence, the values of x and y are x = √-7/150 and y = 10√-7/150, respectively
