Answer:

x=5 y =-6

Explanation:

- 8x-10y=20

-8x - 6y=-4

Multiply the first equation by -1

8x +10y=-20

Add this to the second equation

8x +10y=-20

-8x - 6y=-4

------------------

4y = -24

Divide each side by 4

4y/4 = -24/4

y = -6

Now we need to solve for x

8x +10(-6) = -20

8x -60 = -20

Add 60 to each side

8x -60+60 = -20+60

8x = 40

Divide each side by 8

8x/8 = 40/8

x =5
