To solve the system of equations:

  1. \(-x + 6y = 13\) (Equation 1)
  2. \(4x - 10y = -10\) (Equation 2)

We can use the substitution or elimination method. Here, we'll use the substitution method.

First, we can solve Equation 1 for \(x\):

\[ -x + 6y = 13 \implies -x = 13 - 6y \implies x = 6y - 13 \]

Now, we can substitute this expression for \(x\) into Equation 2:

\[ 4(6y - 13) - 10y = -10 \]

Expanding the left side:

\[ 24y - 52 - 10y = -10 \]

Combining like terms:

\[ 14y - 52 = -10 \]

Adding 52 to both sides:

\[ 14y = 42 \]

Dividing both sides by 14:

\[ y = 3 \]

Now, substitute \(y = 3\) back into the expression we found for \(x\):

\[ x = 6(3) - 13 = 18 - 13 = 5 \]

So, we have:

\[ x = 5, , y = 3 \]

The solution to the system of equations is:

\[ (x, y) = (5, 3) \]

Thus, the final answer is:

\[ (5, 3) \]
