Answer:

(i) x = 2

Substituting value in the equation,

2y - 5(2) + 10 = 0

2y - 10 + 10 = 0

2y = 0

y = 0

(ii) y = 5

Substituting value in the equation,

2(5) - 5x + 10 = 0

10 - 5x + 10 = 0

20 - 5x = 0

20 = 5x

5x = 20

x = 20/5

x = 4

Answer:

  1. When x = 2, y = 0
  2. When y = 5, x = 4

Explanation:

PART I: Value of y, when x = 2

Given information

x = 2

Given expression

2y - 5x + 10 = 0

Substitute values into the expression

2y - 5(2) + 10 = 0

Simplify by multiplication

2y - 10 + 10 = 0

2y = 0

Divide 2 on both sides

2y / 2 = 0 / 2


\boxed{y=0}

-----------------------------------------------------------------

PART II: Value of x, when y = 5

Given information

y = 5

Given expression

2y - 5x + 10 = 0

Substitute values into the expression

2(5) - 5x + 10 = 0

Simplify by multiplication

10 - 5x + 10 = 0

20 - 5x = 0

Add 5x on both sides

20 - 5x + 5x = 0 + 5x

20 = 5x

Divide 5 on both sides

20 / 5 = 5x / 5


\boxed{x=4}

Hope this helps!! :)
