<h3>The solution is x = 4 and y = -2</h3>
<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>
-3y + 5x = 26 ------ eqn 1
-2y - 5x = -16 -------- eqn 2
We have to solve the system of equations
<em><u>Add eqn 1 and eqn 2</u></em>
-3y + 5x = 26
-2y - 5x = -16
(+) ------------------
-5y = 10
<h3>y = -2</h3>
<em><u>Substitute y = -2 in eqn 1</u></em>
-3(-2) + 5x = 26
6 + 5x = 26
5x = 26 - 6
5x = 20
<h3>x = 4</h3>
Thus solution is x = 4 and y = -2
