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).
