2x-5-\dfrac{x-8}{x+4}=\dfrac{(2x-5)(x+4)}{x+4}-\dfrac{x-8}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{(2x)(x)+(2x)(4)+(-5)(x)+(-5)(4)-x-(-8)}{x+4}\\\\=\dfrac{2x^2+8x-5x-20-x+8}{x+4}=\dfrac{2x^2+2x-12}{x+4}

What is the solution set of the following system of equations?
9966 [12]
5x - 3y = 10
x + y = 7......multiply by -5
------------------
5x - 3y = 10
-5x - 5y = -35 (result of multiplying by -5)
------------------add
-8y = -25
y = 25/8

x + y = 7
x + 25/8 = 7
x = 7 - 25/8
x = 56/8 - 25/8
x = 31/8

solution is (31/8 , 25/8)
