Answer:

x = 9

y = -10

Explanation:

2x + y = 8

Subract 2x from both sides to get y = 8 - 2x.

-10x - 8(8 - 2x) = -10

-10x - 64 + 16x = -10

6x - 64 = -10

6x = 54

x = 9

2(9) + y = 8

18 + y = 8

y = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Isolate x for -10x - 8y


\begin{bmatrix}2\left(-(-5+4y)/(5)\right)+y=8\end{bmatrix}

Step 2: Simplify


\begin{bmatrix}(10-3y)/(5)=8\end{bmatrix}

Step 3: Substitute y=-10


x=-(-5+4\left(-10\right))/(5)

Step 4: Solve


x=9

ANSWER:
x=9,\:y=-10
