3y=-10-5x
3x+5y=-6
------------
1st: 5x+3y=-10
2nd: 3x+5y=-6
----------------
Multiply 1st by 3 ; Multiply 2nd by 5 to get:
3rd: 15x+9y=-30
4th: 15x+25y=-30
----------
Subtract 3rd from 4th to get:
16y=0
y=0
-------------
Substitute in 1st to solve for y:
5x+0=-10
x=-2
--------
Check the answer in 2nd:
3(-2)+5(0)=-6
-6=-6
--------
So the solution of the system
is x=-2, y=0

First, solve both equations for y and get and . Create some ordered pairs, draw the lines, and see where they intersect -- the point of intersection is the solution. If the lines are parallel (they have the same slope, but different y-intercepts), there is no solution, which is the case here. If the lines are the same, there is an infinite solution. The graph is:
