If you mean to ask how you divide 2 by 5, then consider instead dividing 20 by 5, then divide that result by 10 (which is as simple as moving a decimal point to the left)

We have 20/5 = 4, then 4/10 = 0.4.

Why does this work? All we're doing is multiplying by 1 in the form of 10/10, then moving around factors within the product:

2/5 = 2/5 * 10/10 = (2*10)/5 * 1/10 = 20/5 * 1/10 = 4/10 = 0.4

Answer:

x=20; y=50 or (20, 50)

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution means plugging in one variable's value that consists of the opposite variable. Because y=3x-10 is already specified, you can plug it into the second equation's y value. After doing that, it looks like this:

-4x+2y=20→-4x+2(3x-10)=20

Then you would distribute the 3 across the parentheses next to it, like this:

-4x+2(3x-10)=20→-4x+6x-20=20

Then, add like terms, like this:

-4x+6x-20=20→2x=40

Then divide both side by 2 to isolate x.

x=20

Now, you can plug 20 (x) into either equation, but the first one seems simpler so you would pick that. It would look like this:

y=3x-10→y=3(20)-10

Solving would look like this:

y=3(20)-10→y=60-10→y=50

So the answer is x=20; y=50 or (20, 50).
