We are given the equations:

10x = 10

-5x - 8y = 9

Since we don't have a coefficient of y in the first equation, we will rewrite the first equation as:

10x + 0y = 10

Writing an Augmented matrix for the 2 equations:

10x + 0y = 10

-5x - 8y = 9

$\left[\begin{array}{ccc}10&0|&10\\-5&-8|&9\end{array}\right]$
