Given,

[3205]\begin{bmatrix} -3 & 2 \ 0 & -5 \end{bmatrix} [x2]\begin{bmatrix} x \ 2 \end{bmatrix} = [5y]\begin{bmatrix} -5 \ y \end{bmatrix}

Solving:

[(3)(x)+(2)(2)(0)(x)+(5)(2)]=[5y][3x+410]=[5y].\Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix} (-3)(x) + (2)(2) \ (0)(x) + (-5)(2) \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -5 \ y \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] \Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix} -3x + 4 \ -10 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -5 \ y \end{bmatrix}.

∴ y = -10

∴ -3x + 4 = -5

⇒ -3x = -5 - 4

⇒ -3x = -9

⇒ x = 93\dfrac{-9}{-3}

⇒ x = 3.

Hence, x = 3 and y = -10.
