    (-3,-8)

    Step-by-step explanation:

    okay so what we can do here is elimination

    we can do this first by multiplying the entire second equation by 2

    so then it would become

    2 (5x-2y=1)

    10x-4y=2

    now we can add the two equations together which will eliminate y

    so

    -8x+4y=-8 plus

    10x-4y=2 equals

    2x=-6

    we did that by combining like terms

    next we can simplify that

    x=-3

    now we can plug that into the equation

    -8 (-3) + 4y=-8

    simplify

    24+4y=-8

    4y=-32

    y=-8

    our answer would be

    (-3,-8)
