Answer:

(x, y) = (10, 15)

Explanation:

The second equation gives an expression for y that can be substituted into the first equation.

5x -4(2x -5) = -10

-3x +20 = -10 . . . . . simplify

30 = 3x . . . . . . . . . . add 3x+10

10 = x . . . . . . . divide by 3

y = 2(10) -5 = 15

The solution is (x, y) = (10, 15).

Solve the system of equations. 5x - 4y = -10 y=2x-5 x= y=-example-1
