apparently you are submitting your answer to a website that tried to "check" your work and spaces throw it for a loop ... :)

since x = y+10; all you have to do is substitute that "value" for x in the other equation like this:

3(y+10) +2y -5 = 0    ; solve for y.

when you get a "solid" answer for y you can figure out a "solid" answer for x in the bottom equation.
