Answer:
{(-34/7, -16/7)}
Step-by-step explanation:
Rearrange values, multiply to solve for x.
(5) 2y = 3x + 10
(-2) 5y = 4x + 8
Solve for x.
10y = 15x + 50 ↓
-10y = -8x -16
Combine and evaluate.
0 = 7x + 34
Subtract 34 from both sides.
7x = -34
Divide both sides by 7.
x = 
Plugin x value into either equation to solve for y.
2y = (3 × ) + 10
2y = 
+ 10
2y = 
y = 
Hey there!
When dealing with expressions, there are three terms that show up often: coefficient, variable, and constant. A variable is an unknown term commonly represented by a letter in equations (e.g. x, y, etc.) and a coefficient is a number attached to a variable (in your problem, 7 would be the coefficient of x, your variable, in 7x). That leaves your constant, which is simply a number that stays the same and doesn't contain a variable (e.g. 8, 10, 123, etc.).
Your answer will be "5".
Hope this helped you out! :-)
