Hello!

Let's set up some things:


x-2y=5 <-- equation 1


2x+3y = 10 <-- equation 2

________________

(equation 1) multiplied by 2


2x - 4y=10 <-- equation 3

________________

(equation 2) - (equation 3)

7y = 0

y = 0 <-- equation 4

________________

(equation 4)'s value of y into (equation 1)


x-2(0) = 5\\x = 5

Thus x = 5 and y = 0

Hope that helps!
