y = 2x - 5 Eq(1)

6x - 2y= 20 Eq(2)

We are going to use the elimination method to solve the system.

y-2x = -5 Transpose x to the othe side in Eq(1)

2y - 4x = -10 Multiply all terms of Eq(1) by 2. Then add Eq(1) to Eq(2)

2y - 4x = -10

+ -2y +6x= 20

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

2x = 10 Operating like terms

x= 10/2 Isolating x

x = 5

Replacing x in Eq(1)

y = 2*(5) -5

y= 10 - 5 = 5

The answer is the point with coordinates ( 5 (x-coordinate) , 5(y-coordinate)).
