Answer

x = -5 y = - 10

Work Step by Step

4x - 3y = 10 y = x - 5 Substitude y for x - 5 to the first equation 4x - 3 ( x - 5 ) = 10 4x - 3x + 15 = 10 use the distributive property simplify x + 15 = 10 x + 15 - 15 = 10 - 15 minus 15 to both sides x = -5 y = -5 - 5 Substitude x for - 5 to the second equation y = - 10
