Answer:
x=-4, y=7
Step-by-step explanation:
-5x-10y=-50...(1)
Multiply both sides by -1:
5x+10y=50
5x=50-10y
x=(50-10y)/5
Substitute x=(50-10y)/5 into second given eqaution:
10(50-10y)/5+8y=16
Cancel out common factor 5:
2(50-10y)+8y=16
100-20y+8y=16
-12y=16-100
-12y=-84
y=84/12
y=7
Substitute y=7 into equation (1)
-5x-10(7)=-50
-5x-70=-50
-5x=-50+70
-5x=20
x=-20/5
x=-4
