Answer:
x=-2, y= 1
Step-by-step explanation:
Given data
-2x+3y= 7 --------------1
5x+8y= -2--------------2
Multiply 1 by 5 and 2 by 2 and add
-2x+3y= 7 X 5
5x+8y= -2 X 2
-10x+15y= 35
10x+16y= -4
0x+31y= 31
31y= 31
y= 31/31
y= 1
put y= 1 in eqn 1
-2x+3y= 7
-2x+3(1)= 7
-2x+3=7
-2x= 7-3
-2x= 4
x=- 4/2
x= -2
