Answer:
[tex]x=-5,\\y=\frac{13}{2}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\begin{cases}x+2y=8,\\x=-5\end{cases}[/tex]
Substitute the second equation into the first ([tex]x=-5[/tex]):
[tex]-5+2y=8,\\2y=13,\\y=\boxed{\frac{13}{2}}[/tex]
The second equation already denotes [tex]x=-5[/tex]. Therefore,
[tex]\boxed{x=-5,\\y=\frac{13}{2}}[/tex]
