To solve the system of equations, you can either use the substitution method or the elimination method.
Let's use the elimination method.
Multiply the first equation by 2 to eliminate the x term:
2x - 2y = -20
Write down the second equation:
2x + 3y = 15
Now, subtract the first equation from the second equation to eliminate the x term:
(2x + 3y) - (2x - 2y) = 15 - (-20)
2x + 3y - 2x + 2y = 15 + 20
5y = 35
Divide both sides of the equation by 5 to solve for y:
y = 35/5
y = 7
Now substitute the value of y back into one of the original equations (let's use the first one) to solve for x:
x - 7 = -10
Add 7 to both sides of the equation:
x = -10 + 7
x = -3
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -3, y = 7.
