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.
