Question

$$5(x-2); 5=(x+5)$$

Solve for x, y

$y=-10$

Solution Steps

Consider the first equation. Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

$$x+5=5$$

Subtract $5$ from both sides.

$$x=5-5$$

Subtract $5$ from $5$ to get $0$.

$$x=0$$

Consider the second equation. Insert the known values of variables into the equation.

$$y=5\left(0-2\right)$$

Subtract $2$ from $0$ to get $-2$.

$$y=5\left(-2\right)$$

Multiply $5$ and $-2$ to get $-10$.

$$y=-10$$

The system is now solved.

$$x=0$$ $$y=-10$$
