Question 184371
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


Your second equation is already solved in terms of <i>y</i>, so substitute the expression in <i>x</i> to which <i>y</i> is equal for <i>y</i> in the first equation, thus:



*[tex \LARGE \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 3=5x-3(2x+4)+10]


Now solve for <i>x</i>.  Once you have a value for <i>x</i>, substitute that value into either of the original equations (I would suggest using the second equation because the arithmetic will be a little easier) to determine the value for <i>y</i>.
