Answer:

The answer would have to be shown in your working out, so look down below for an explanation.

Explanation:

You would make each equation with the same letter equal to each other

5x- 10= 7x-20

3y= 5y-16

Then you would solve the equations

5x-10 = 7x-20

+20 +20

5x +10= 7x

-5x -5x

10= 2x

x= 5

-

3y = 5y-16

+16 +16

3y+16=5y

-3y -3y

16 = 2y

y = 8

And there's how you would prove that x=5 and y=8
