X 1 2 3
y 10 8 6
So find the slope m: (6-10)/(3-1) = -4/2 = -2
Going backwards when x = 0, y will be 12 (you can see this)
So

−10x+5y=10
x−5y=−28
Rewrite equations:
x−5y=−28
−10x+5y=10
Step: Solve:
x−5y=−28
x−5y+5y=−28+5y(Add 5y to both sides)
x=5y−28
Step: Substitute:
−10x+5y=10
−10(5y−28)+5y=10
−45y+280=10(Simplify both sides of the equation)
−45y+280+−280=10+−280(Add -280 to both sides)
−45y=−270
−45y
−45
=
−270
−45
(Divide both sides by -45)
y=6
Step: Substitute:
x=5y−28
x=(5)(6)−28
x=2(Simplify both sides of the equation)
Answer:
x=2 and y=6
