x - 2y = -5

Answer:

(- 1, 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 5y = 8 → (1)

x - 2y = - 5 → (2)

multiplying (2) by - 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate x

- 2x + 4y = 10 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate x

0 + 9y = 18

9y = 18 ( divide both sides by 9 )

y = 2

substitute y = 2 into either of the 2 equations and solve for x

substituting into (1)

2x + 5(2) = 8

2x + 10 = 8 ( subtract 10 from both sides )

2x = - 2 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x = - 1

solution is (- 1, 2 )
