i need to see the steps

so, substitute one Y value in the other equation

3x - 10 = 2x - 5
3x -2x - 10 = 2x - 2x - 5
x - 10 = -5
x -10 +10 = -5 + 10
x = 5

Then, Y = 3(5) - 10 = 5

1. Set formulas equal to each other
3x-10=2x-5
2. Move over the 2x, and subtract
x-10=-5
3. Add 10 to both sides
x-10+10=-5+10
4. Solve for x
x=5
5. Plug x(5) in to any formula
Y=2(5)-5
6. Solve
Y=10-5
Y=5

Y=3x-10
Y=2x-5
set Ys equal
3x-10=2x-5
x=5

Y= 3x - 10
Y= 2x - 5
since we have both in terms of y, it is easiest to use y=y so
3x-10=2x-5 subtract 2x from each side
x-10=-5 add 10 to each side
x=5
now substitute
y=2*5-5=10-5=5

check
5*3*5-10=15-10=5

y=y so then since y=3x-10 and y=2x-5 then 3x-10=2x-5, which you can reduce to x=5 and u plug that into one of the original problems so its like y=2(5)-5 and then y=5

If you are solving for x, then you can set the two equations equal to each other:
3x - 10 = 2x - 5
Now add ten to each side:
3x = 2x + 5
Now subtract 2x from each side:
x = 5

Now plug in x = 5 into one of the original equations.
y = 3(5) - 10
y = 15 - 10
y = 5

y = 3x - 10
y = 2x - 5

intent is to "eliminate" x or y, so as to have an equation in
one variable, x or y, that can therefore be solved.

in this example, if we subtract equation 2 from equation 1,
0 = x -5
so x = 5
if x is 5, the equation y = 3x-10 says that y = 5
if x is 5, the equation y = 2x-5 also says that y = 5

solution is x=5, y = 5

since both equal y, u can equate them:
3x - 10 = 2x - 5
3x - 2x =10-5
x = 5

Sub x = 15 into either of the original equations to get y.

y=3x-10 & y=2x-5
3x-10=2x-5
3x-2x=10-5
x=5
y=3*5-10
y=5

1. Pick either equation and solve for x.
2. Once you find what x equals, plug it into the other formula you did not use.
Then, you should be able to figure out what the answer is.
