    3x - 5y = 18 over

    -10x + 5y = 10

    Add them because the 5y's have the right symbols for us to add

    -7x = 28

    Divide

    x = - 4

    Now you can plug in - 4 for x in one equation, I would use the first equation!

    3 (-4) - 5y = 18

    -12 - 5y = 18

    Add 12

    -5y = 30

    Divide

    y = - 6

    Your solutions are going to be:

    x = - 4

    y = - 6

    To check your work plug x and y into one equation:

    3 (-4) - 5 (-6) = 18

    -12 + 30 = 18

    18 = 18

    Since 18 does equal 18 you know that your solution's work!
