Since you did not state the question, I am going to have to assume it is to solve the system of equations.

I will use the addition method. I will multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by -5.

Now, adding, we get

So y=-1. To get x, you plug in y=-1 into either equation.
5x+2(-1)=8
5x-2=8
5x=10
x=2
So the solution is (2,-1).
