Substitute y=−6: Substitute y=−6 into the equation −10x+5y=20.Substitute −6 for y in −10x+5y=20.−10x+5(−6)=20−10x−30=20
Isolate variable term: Isolate the variable term to solve for x. Add 30 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x. −10x−30+30=20+30−10x=50
Solve for x: Solve for x.Divide both sides by −10 to find the value of x.−10x/−10=50/−10x=−5
Find ordered pair: We have found the values of x and y.x=−5y=−6The solution in the form of an ordered pair is (−5,−6).
