Answer:


\huge\boxed{(1, -3)}

Explanation:

In order to find the solution to this system of equations, our goal is to get one variable on one side of the equation.

With the equations d
10x-2y=16, and
10x-2y=16, we know that we can multiply
10x-2y=16 by -1 and the x terms will cancel out (as 10 - 10 = 0).


-1(10x-2y=16) = -10x + 6y = -16

Now we add this equation to the first.


10x+9y=-17


-10x+2y=-16

_______________


11y=-33

Divide both sides by 11 and we get
y=-3.

Now that we know the value of y, we can substitute it inside an equation and find the value of x. Let's substitute it inside
10x-2y=16.


10x-2(-3)=16\\10x+6=16\\10x=10\\\\x=1

So x = 1.

Hope this helped!
