    ( - 5, - 5)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given the 2 equations

    10x - 5y = - 25 → (1)

    - 2x + 2y = 0 → (2)

    Multiplying (2) by 5 and adding to (1) will eliminate the term in x

    - 10x + 10y = 0 → (3)

    Add (1) and (3) term by term

    5y = - 25 (divide both sides by 5)

    y = - 5

    Substitute y = - 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

    Substituting in (1)

    10x - 5 ( - 5) = - 25, that is

    10x + 25 = - 25 (subtract 25 from both ides)

    10x = - 50 (divide both sides by 10)

    x = - 5

    Solution is ( - 5, - 5)
