Solve the system of equations - 5y+8x=-18 5y+2x=58

(x, y) = (4, 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

-5y + 8x = - 18

5y + 2x = 58

Adding both equations

-5y + 8x = - 18

5y + 2x = 58

0 + 10x = 40

10x/10 = 40 / 10

x = 4

putting x = 4 in equation 1

-5y + 8x = - 18

-5y + 8 (4) = - 18

-5y + 32 = - 18

-5y = - 18 - 32

-5y = - 50

-5y/-5 = - 50/-5

y = 10
