First, we can rearrange the equations to solve for y:
1) -5x + y = -18
y = 5x -18
2) 10x - 2y = 36
-2y = -10x -36
y = 5x + 18
Now that we have both equations equal to y, we can set them equal to each other:
5x - 18 = 5x + 18
This equation does not make sense as both sides are equal to the same thing. Therefore, there is no solution to this system of equations.
-5x+y=-18
10x-2y=36
