Answer:

y=-1, x=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

First isolate x:

x+5y-5y=-8-5y

x=-8-5y

Then substitute (-8-5y) for x:

-6(-8-5y)+8y=10

Distribute and solve for y:

48+30y+8y=10

38y-48=10-48

38y=-38

y=-1

Use y to solve for x:

x+5(-1)=-8

x-5=-8

x-5+5=-8+5

x=-3

Answer:

4/12 simplified is 1/3

3/4 > 1/3

Or, imagine this:

There are 2 pies, watermelons, pizzas, cookies, whatever fits you. One is cut into 4 pieces and the other into 3. You take the one with 4 pieces and your friend take the one with 3. When you finish, there is only 1 quarter left. However, your friend didn't even finish half. Of course, you ate more.

Weird example but who cares...
