We need to find the value of x and y:


8x\text{ + 10y = 20}

First, let solve the x variable:

Subtract 10y on both sides


8x\text{ +10y -10y = 20-10y}


8x\text{ =20-10y}

Then divide by 8 into both sides :


(8x)/(8)=\text{ }(20-10y)/(8)
x\text{ = }(20-10y)/(8)

Replace the x value into the first equation:


8x\text{ + 10y = 20}
8((20-10y)/(8))+10y\text{ = 20}

Now, solve the equation for y:


20-10y\text{ +10y = 20}
