System equations

X+10y=36 and 5x+6y=4

So, in the first equation, get x by itself on one side, so you can plug it in to the other equation: x = - 10y + 36. Then plug in: 5 (-10y + 36) + 6y = 4.

Then, distribute and solve for y: - 50y + 180 + 6y = 4

= - 44y = - 176

Divide both sides by - 44 to get y by itself.

= y = 4

Then plug in y to the original equation to solve for x.

x + 10 (4) = 36

x + 40 = 36

x = - 4

So, y = 4, and x = - 4
