Answer:

[tex]x=1, y=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}-2x-5y=-12\\ 10x-4y=2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Isolate x for [tex]-\:2x\:-\:5y=-12[/tex]

[tex]-\:2x\:-\:5y=-12[/tex]

Add 5y to both sides.

[tex]-2x-5y+5y=-12+5y[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]-2x=-12+5y[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2.

[tex]x=-\frac{-12+5y}{2}[/tex]

Substitute x for [tex]-\frac{-12+5y}{2}[/tex].

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}10\left(-\frac{-12+5y}{2}\right)-4y=2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]\begin{bmatrix}-29y+60=2\end{bmatrix}[/tex]

Isolate y for [tex]-29y+60=2[/tex]

[tex]y=2[/tex]

Substitute y in [tex]-\frac{-12+5y}{2}[/tex] for 2.

[tex]x=-\frac{-12+5\cdot \:2}{2}[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]x=1,\:y=2[/tex]
