1. **State the problem:** Solve the system of equations algebraically:
$$3x - 2y = 2$$
$$5x - 5y = 10$$
2. **Choose a method:** We will use the elimination method to solve for $x$ and $y$.
3. **Make coefficients of one variable equal:** Multiply the first equation by 5 and the second equation by 2 to align coefficients of $x$:
$$5(3x - 2y) = 5(2) \Rightarrow 15x - 10y = 10$$
$$2(5x - 5y) = 2(10) \Rightarrow 10x - 10y = 20$$
4. **Subtract the second equation from the first:**
$$\begin{aligned}
(15x - 10y) - (10x - 10y) &= 10 - 20 \\
15x - 10y - 10x + 10y &= -10 \\
(15x - 10x) + (-10y + 10y) &= -10 \\
5x + \cancel{-10y + 10y} &= -10 \\
5x &= -10
\end{aligned}$$
5. **Solve for $x$:**
$$x = \frac{-10}{5} = -2$$
6. **Substitute $x = -2$ into the first original equation:**
$$3(-2) - 2y = 2$$
$$-6 - 2y = 2$$
7. **Solve for $y$:**
$$-2y = 2 + 6$$
$$-2y = 8$$
$$y = \frac{8}{-2} = -4$$
8. **Final solution:**
$$x = -2, \quad y = -4$$
This means the solution to the system is the point $(-2, -4)$ where both equations intersect.
