Solve the following system:

{y/3-x/5 = -2 | (equation 1)

(5 x)/6-y/2 = -5 | (equation 2)

Swap equation 1 with equation 2:

{(5 x)/6-y/2 = -5 | (equation 1)

-x/5+y/3 = -2 | (equation 2)

Add 6/25 × (equation 1) to equation 2:

{(5 x)/6-y/2 = -5 | (equation 1)

0 x+(16 y)/75 = -16/5 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 1 by 6:

{5 x-3 y = -30 | (equation 1)

0 x+(16 y)/75 = -16/5 | (equation 2)

Multiply equation 2 by 75/16:

{5 x-3 y = -30 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -15 | (equation 2)

Add 3 × (equation 2) to equation 1:

{5 x+0 y = -75 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -15 | (equation 2)

Divide equation 1 by 5:

{x+0 y = -15 | (equation 1)

0 x+y = -15 | (equation 2)

Collect results:

Answer: |x = -15       and        y=-15
