we have

10x + 8 y = 20 ------> equation A

10 x + 2 y = -10 ​------> equation B

Multiply equation A by -1 both sides

so

-10x-8y=-20 -----> new equation A

Adds new equation A and equation B

\

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

-8y+2y=-20-10

-6y=-30

y=5

Find the value of x

substitute the value of y in equation A or equation B or new equation A

10x + 8(5) = 20

10x+40=20

10x=20-40

10x=-20

x=-2

therefore

the solution is the ordered pair (-2,5)
