Start with the second part of your equation

4x + 10 = 18

4x = 8 Subtract 10 from both sides

x = 2 Divide by 4 on both sides

Now substitute 2 for x on the first part of your equation

2 (2) - 5y = 11

4 - 5y = 11 Simplify

-5y = 7 Subtract 4 from both sides

y = -7/5 or -1.4 Divide by -5 on both sides
