We can re-write it as
5x+(-2)y=-5
-5x+1y=3
Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++5%5Cx+%2B+-2%5Cy+=+-5%2C%0D%0A++++-5%5Cx+%2B+1%5Cy+=+3+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving -2*y to the right, we get:
5%2Ax+=+-5+-+-2%2Ay, or x+=+-5%2F5+-+-2%2Ay%2F5. Substitute that
into another equation:
-5%2A%28-5%2F5+-+-2%2Ay%2F5%29+%2B+1%5Cy+=+3 and simplify: So, we know that y=2. Since x+=+-5%2F5+-+-2%2Ay%2F5, x=-0.2.

Answer: system%28+x=-0.2%2C+y=2+%29.
