Translating the question
x^2=10-7x
rearrange
x^2+7x-10=0
using quadratic formula
x=-7+ \sqrt{49+40}all over 2 0r x=-7- \sqrt{49+40}all over 2
therefore x=1.2 or x=-1.2

2x + 5y = -3 ⇒ 2x + 5y = -3
1x + 8y = 4 ⇒ 2x + 16y = 8
 -11y = -11 
 -11 -11
 y = 1
 2x + 5(1) = -3
 2x + 5 = -3
 -5 -5
 2x = -8

 x = -4
 (x, y) = (-4, 1)

2x + 1y = 7 ⇒ 2x + 1y = 7
1x - 2y = -14 ⇒ 2x - 4y = -28
 5y = 35
 5 5
 y = 7
 2x + 7 = 7
 -7 -7
 2x = 0
 2 2
 x = 0
 (x, y) = (0, 7)
