Answer:
x = -0.25
y = -0.5
Step-by-step explanation:
4x - 5y = 0
8x + 5y = -6
We multiply the first equation by -2
-8x + 10y = 0
8x + 5y = -6
15y = -6
y = -6/15 = -2/5 = -0.4
Now we put -0.4 in for y and solve for x
8x + 5(-0.4) = -6
-8x - 2 = -6
-8x = -4
x = -1/2 = -0.5
Let's Check the answer.
4(-0.5) - 5(-0.4) = 0
-2 + 2 = 0
0 = 0
So, x = -0.5 and y = -0.4 is the correct answer.
