Start with the second equation.

Rearrange the terms.

Start with the given system of equations:

Multiply the both sides of the first equation by 5.

Distribute and multiply.

Multiply the both sides of the second equation by 2.

Distribute and multiply.

So we have the new system of equations:

Now add the equations together. You can do this by simply adding the two left sides and the two right sides separately like this:

Group like terms.

Combine like terms. Notice how the y terms cancel out.

Simplify.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

------------------------------------------------------------------

Now go back to the first equation.

Plug in .

Multiply.

Multiply both sides by the LCD to clear any fractions.

Distribute and multiply.

Subtract from both sides.

Combine like terms on the right side.

Divide both sides by to isolate .

Reduce.

So our answer is and .

Which form the ordered pair

.

This means that the two equations are consistent and independent.
