    Rearrange the first equation

    2x + y = 20

    take away 2x from both sides

    y = 20 - 2x

    substitute this y value into the second equation

    6x - 5 (20 - 2x) = 12

    6x - 100 + 10x = 12

    add 100 to both sides

    6x + 10x = 112

    16x = 112

    divide both sides by 16

    x = 7

    Substitute this x value into the first equation to get y.

    2 (7) + y = 20

    14 + y = 20

    take away 14 from both sides

    y = 6

    So, y = 6 and x = 7

    5 (2x + y = 20) = (10x + 5y = 100)

    (10x + 5y = 100) + (6x - 5y = 12) = 16x = 112

    112/16 = 7

    The final answer is 7.
