Answer:
x = 1
y = -24
Step-by-step explanation:
8x + y = -16
-3x + y = -5
Subtract equation one from equation two
8x - -3x + y - y = -16 - - 5
8x + 3x = -16 + 5
11x = 11
Divide both sides by 11
11x/11 = 11/11
x = 1
Now substitute 1 for x in either of the equations to get y.
Using equation one, we have
8x + y = -16
8 x 1 + y = -16
8 + y = -16
Subtract 8 from both sides
8 - 8 + y = -16 - 8
y = -24
x = 1
y = -24
