Answer:
x = 10
y = 15
Step-by-step explanation:
5x − 4y = −10 ⇒ ( 1 )
y = 2x − 5 ⇒ ( 2 )
Let us find the value of x.
For that, we can replace y with ( 2x - 5 ).
Let us take equation 1.
5x − 4y = −10
5x - 4 ( 2x − 5 ) = -10
5x - 8x + 20 = -10
-3x = -20 - 10
-3x = - 30
Divide both sides by ( -3 ).
x = 10
And now let us find the value of y.
Let us take equation 2.
y = 2x − 5
y = 2 × 10 - 5
y = 20 - 5
y = 15
