Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
To eliminate the x terms, first multiply the second equation by 3:
-3x + 6y = 24
then add it to the first equation:
3x + 5y = -2
-3x + 6y = 24
------------------
0x + 11y = 22
y = 2
plug the value of y into one of the equations:
-x + 2(2) = 8
x = 4-8 = -4
(x,y) = (-4, 2)
