$$\begin{cases}3x + y = -8\\5x + 2y = 5\\end{cases}$$
Step1: Isolate y from first equation
$y = -8 - 3x$
Step2: Substitute y into second equation
$5x + 2(-8 - 3x) = 5$
Step3: Simplify to solve for x
$5x - 16 - 6x = 5$
$-x = 5 + 16$
$-x = 21$
$x = -21$
Step4: Substitute x back to find y
$y = -8 - 3(-21)$
$y = -8 + 63$
$y = 55$
