We can solve this system of equations by substitution. Since both equations are solved for y, we can set them equal to each other and solve for x.

y = -x - 32 ...(1)

y = 5x ...........(2)

Substituting (1) into (2), we get:

-x - 32 = 5x

Simplifying and solving for x, we have:

6x = -32

x = -32/6

x = -16/3

Now that we know x, we can substitute it back into either equation to solve for y. Let's use equation (2):

y = 5x

y = 5(-16/3)

y = -80/3

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (x, y) = (-16/3, -80/3).
