Answer

One solution (2,0)

Work Step by Step

You have the equations:5x-3y=10 and 10x+6y=20. Multiply the first equation by 2 so you can eliminate the y variable: 2(5x-3y=10) 10x-6y=20 Eliminate the equations by combining them: 10x+6y=20 10x-6y=20 -combine the equations- 20x=40 -divide both sides by 20- x=2 Plug in x=2 into one of the equations: 10(2)+6y=20 -distribute- 20+6y=20 -subtract 20 from both sides- 6y=0 -divide both sides by 6- y=0 Check the solutions by plugging in x=2 and y=0 into one of the equations: 5(2)-3(0)=10 10-0=10 10=10 The one solution is (2,0)
