Answer:

A & B

Step-by-step explanation:

5x - 2y = 10 (1)

-2.5x + y = -5 (2)

When you multiply (2) by -2, you get (1), so there can be many solutions

To choose from the given options, plug in the values to check which ones satisfy the equation

5x - 2y = 10

A) (2,0)

5(2) - 2(0) = 10

10 = 10 (true statement)

B) (-2,-10)

5(-2) - 2(-10) = 10

-10 + 20 = 10

10 = 10 (true statement)
