To solve this system of equations, we can use either the substitution method or the elimination method.
Let's solve it using the elimination method:
Multiply the first equation by 2 to make the coefficients of x in both equations the same:
2(x - y) = 2(-10) 2x - 2y = -20
Now we have the system of equations:
2x - 2y = -20 2x + 3y = 15
Next, subtract the first equation from the second equation:
(2x + 3y) - (2x - 2y) = 15 - (-20) 2x + 3y - 2x + 2y = 15 + 20 5y = 35
Divide both sides by 5:
5y/5 = 35/5 y = 7
Now, substitute the value of y back into one of the original equations. Let's use the first equation:
x - 7 = -10 x = -10 + 7 x = -3
So the solution to the system of equations is x = -3 and y = 7.
