To solve the system of equations given as ( y - 3 + 8 = y - 5x - 2 ), first simplify the left side to get ( y + 5 = y - 5x - 2 ). Then, subtract ( y ) from both sides to obtain ( 5 = -5x - 2 ). Adding 2 to both sides gives ( 7 = -5x ), which simplifies to ( x = -\frac{7}{5} ). The value of ( y ) can then be found by substituting ( x ) back into one of the original equations.
