Answer:
x = -5 & y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
2x - 5y = 5 --------------------------(I)
y = x + 2 -----------------------(II)
Using substitution method
Substitute y = x + 2 in equation (I)
2x - 5(x + 2) = 5
2x - 5*x + (-5)*2 = 5
2x - 5x - 10 = 5
Combine like terms
-3x - 10 = 5 {Add 10 to both sides}
-3x = 5 +10
-3x = 15 {Divide both sides by (-3)}
x = 15/(-3)
x = -5
Substitute the x = (-5) in equation (II)
y = -5 + 2
y = -3
