Answer

$x=\dfrac{11}{5};y=7$

Work Step by Step

We need to isolate $y$ in the second equation. $y=5x-4$ Now, plug the value of $x$ into the first equation. $-5x+2(5x-4)=3 \implies 5x=11$ We get: $x=\dfrac{11}{5}$ We will plug the value of $x$ into the expression of $y$ to find the value of $y$. $y=5(\dfrac{11}{5})-4=7$ Thus, $x=\dfrac{11}{5};y=7$
