Answer:

(2,0)

Explanation:

5x + 9y = 10

4x -3y = 8 If I multiple this second equation all the way through by 3, then the y's would cancel out when I add the equations together.

12x -9y = 24 multiplied the second equation through by 3

5x + 9y = 10 Add the 2 equations together

17x = 34 Divide both sides by 14

x = 2

Plug 2 in for x for either of the two original equations and solve for y

5x + 9y = 10

5(2) + 9y = 10

10 + 9y = 10 Subtract 10 from both sides

9y = 0 Divide both sides by 0

y = 0
