Assuming you need to solve for x,y:
From the FIRST equation: 4x + 10y = 40 4x= 40 - 10y x= 10 - 10/4 y Sustitute THIS value for 'x' into the SECOND equation:
3(10 - 10/4 y) - 10y = 37
30 - 30/4 y - 10y = 37
-70/4 y = 7
y = 7 (-4/70)= -28/70 = - 4/10
Susbstitue this value fo y into one of the equations x = 10 - 10/4 (-4/10) = 10 + 20/20 = 11
so (x,y) = (11, -4/10)
Check 4x + 10y = 40 4 (11) + 10(-2/5) =40
44 -4 = 40 Check!
Another check 3x - 10y = 37
3(11) - 10(-4/10) = 37
33+ 40/10 = 37 Check !
