5x+3y = 51

y = 10x-8

Substituting the bottom equation into the top equation:

5x+3(10x-8) = 51

5x+30x-24 = 51

5x+30x = 51+24

35x = 75

Divide both sides by 35 to find the value of x:

x = 75/35 = 15/7 in its lowest terms.

Substitute the value of x into the original equations to find the value of y:

So: x = 15/7 and y = 94/7

What is the solution of the system of linear equations x equals 0 and y equals 0?

The solution of the system of linear equations ( x = 0 ) and ( y = 0 ) is the single point (0, 0) in the Cartesian coordinate system. This point represents the intersection of the two equations, where both variables are equal to zero. Thus, the only solution is the origin.
