Answer:

x=4 y=5

Explanation:

5x + 2y = 30 and -5x + 4y = 0

Solve by adding the two equations together to eliminate x

5x + 2y = 30

-5x + 4y = 0

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

6y = 30

Divide each side by 6

6y/6 = 30/6

y =5

Now we solve for x

5x + 2y = 30

5x +2(5) = 30

5x+10 = 30

Subtract 10 from each side

5x+10-10 = 30-10

5x = 20

Divide each side by 5

5x/5 = 20/5

x = 4
