No because -5• 3 +1 does not equal 8 makings it impossible for it to work for that equation. Then 3•3-2 doesn’t equal 8 either so (3,8) is not a solution for these equations

Replace x with 3 and solve for Y.

If y equals 8 in both equations, then it is a solution.

y = -5(3) +1 = -15+1 = -14

-14 does not equal 8 , so it is not a solution.
