Answer

The solution set is \(\boxed{(-5, -6), (2, 15)}\).

Steps

Step 1 :Express y in terms of x from the first equation: \(y = \frac{30}{x}\).

Step 2 :Substitute \(y = \frac{30}{x}\) in the second equation and solve for x.

Step 3 :The solutions for x are -5 and 2.

Step 4 :Substitute x = -5 and x = 2 back into the equation \(y = \frac{30}{x}\) to find the corresponding values of y.

Step 5 :The solutions for y are -6 and 15 when x = -5 and x = 2 respectively.

Step 6 :The solution set is \(\boxed{(-5, -6), (2, 15)}\).
