If 2y=x+16, then 10y=5x+80.
Substitiute this into second equation.
5x+(5x+80)=0
10x+80=0
10x= -80
x= -8
Substitute value for x into first equation.
2y=(-8)+16
2y=8
y=4
Check solutions in both equations
2(4)= (-8) + 16
8=8
5(-8)+10(4)=0
-40+40=0
0=0
I explained how to do it basically; the trick is substitution. There are other possible ways of solving it, however, such as elimination.

first get x and y on the same side. and lets say 16=2y-x is equation (1) and 0=5x+10y is equation (2).
Multiply (2) by -5. Then add the equations together to eliminate y.
0= 5x+10y
-80= -10y+5x
-80=10x -solve for x
x= -8.
Now put x into either equation (I choose (2)) and solve for y.
5(-8)+10y=0
-40+10y=0
10y=40
y=4
So x= -8 and y= 4.

2y=x+16 and 5x+10y=0
y = (x/2) + 8
plug y into the second equation
5x + 10[(x/2) + 8] = 0
5x + 5x + 80 = 0
10x = -80
x = -8
y = 4
ANSWER
x = -8
y = 4
