Answer:
x=11.2
Step-by-step explanation:
Add the equations.
-10y=40
y=-4
input y
5x-8=48
5x=56
x=56/5
x = 11.2 and y = -4
Add the two equations
-5x -12y = -8
5x+2y = 48
-------------------
-10y = 40
Divide by -10
-10y/10 = 40/-10
y = -4
5x +2(-4) = 48
5x -8 = 48
Add 8 to each side
5x = 56
Divide by 5
5x/5 = 56/5
x = 56/5
x =11.2
