Answer:

x = -2, y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a systems of equations. Using substitution, we solve for a single variable, plug it in to solve for the other, and solve that one back in to solve for the original. Let's solve it.


5x + y = -10

Subtract 5x from both sides.

y = -5x - 10

Now that we have y isolated, we can plug it in to the other equation.

4x - 7(-5x-10) = -8

Distribute.

4x + 35x + 70 = -8

Subtract 70 from both sides and simplify.

39x = -78

Divide both sides by 39.

x = -2


Now that we have x as -2, we plug it in to the original.


5(-2) + y = -10

Simplify.

-10 + y = -10

Add 10 to both sides.

y = 0


x = -2, y = 0
