Answer
$
\begin{aligned}
& 2\left[\begin{array}{ll}
3 & 4 \\
5 & x
\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{ll}
1 & y \\
0 & 1
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
7 & 0 \\
10 & 5
\end{array}\right] \\
& {\left[\begin{array}{cc}
6 & 8 \\
10 & 2 x
\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & y \\
0 & 1
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
7 & 0 \\
10 & 5
\end{array}\right]} \\
& \Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{cc}
6+1 & 8+y \\
10+0 & 2 x+1
\end{array}\right] \\
& =\left[\begin{array}{cc}
7 & 0 \\
10 & 5
\end{array}\right]
\end{aligned}
$
Comparing the corresponding elements,
$
\begin{aligned}
& 8+y=0 \\
& \text { then } y=-8 \\
& 2 x+1=5
\end{aligned}
$
then $2 x=5-1=4$
$\Rightarrow x =2$
Hence $x=2, y=-8$.
\begin{aligned}
& 2\left[\begin{array}{ll}
3 & 4 \\
5 & x
\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{ll}
1 & y \\
0 & 1
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
7 & 0 \\
10 & 5
\end{array}\right] \\
& {\left[\begin{array}{cc}
6 & 8 \\
10 & 2 x
\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{cc}
1 & y \\
0 & 1
\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc}
7 & 0 \\
10 & 5
\end{array}\right]} \\
& \Rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{cc}
6+1 & 8+y \\
10+0 & 2 x+1
\end{array}\right] \\
& =\left[\begin{array}{cc}
7 & 0 \\
10 & 5
\end{array}\right]
\end{aligned}
$
Comparing the corresponding elements,
$
\begin{aligned}
& 8+y=0 \\
& \text { then } y=-8 \\
& 2 x+1=5
\end{aligned}
$
then $2 x=5-1=4$
$\Rightarrow x =2$
Hence $x=2, y=-8$.
