8x - 10y = 2
7x - 5y = 13
First, we need to eliminate one of the variables. For this, we would like to have them with the same coefficient but different sign. We can do this if we multiply by -2 the second equation.
8x - 10y = 2
-2(7x - 5y) = -2(13)
8x - 10y = 2
-14x +10y = -26
Now, we can add both equations, and solve for x.
(8x - 10y) + (-14x + 10y) = (2) + (-26)
(8x - 14x) +(-10y + 10y) = (2 - 26)
-6x = - 24
-6x/-6 = - 24/-6
x = 4
Substitute 4 for x in the first equation:
8x - 10y = 2
8(4) - 10y = 2
32 - 10y = 2
32 - 32 - 10y = 2 - 32
-10y = -30
-10y/-10 = -30/-10
y = 3
Thus, the solution of the system is (4, 3).
Check:
x - 2y = -6 x - 2y = 2 subtract the 2nd equation from the 1st equation 0 = -8 false Therefore, the system of the equations has no solution.

There is only one equation - possibly due to the limitations of the browser. There are not enough equations to derive a solution.
1 and 0
If "equations-" is intended to be "equations", the answer is y = -2. If the first equation is meant to start with -3x, the answer is y = 0.2
algebra
It is a simultaneous equation and its solution is x = -1 and y = -5
This is a linear algebra question and it is incomplete since there are no equation which have to be solved.
how do you use the substitution method for this problem 2x-3y=-2 4x+y=24
A consistent system.
There is only one equation, so it's not a system of equations.
A "system of equations" implies that there is more than one equation.
You'd need another equation to sub in
The equation is -x2 - 4 = 14 or -x2 = 18 which is the same as x2 = -18. That is the quadratic equation.
-2x=2y-4 2x-y=-5 Answer=(-1,3)
Without a second independent equation, it's not a 'system' yet.
Solve this system of equation using substitution 2x plus 6y equals 24 and 3x-2x equals 24 ?Improved Answer:2x+6y = 243x-2x = 24 => x =24Substitute the value of x into the top equation to find the value of y:48+6y = 246y = 24-486y = -24y = -4So: x = 24 and y = -4
