Answer:

x = 400

y = 1000

Explanation:

Step 1

mult by the first equation by 2

15x + 2y = 4000 ....... x 2

30x + 4y = 8000

the second equation is

10x = 4y

=

10x - 4y =0

then subtract the second equation from the first one

30x + 4y = 8000

- (minus)

10x - 4y = 0

the you will get

20x = 8000

x = 8000/20 = 400

then you will substitute value of x in any the give equation to work out the value of y
