Answer:

(-4,8) is the solution set for given question.

Explanation:

Given that:

Y=2x+16 ---------- eq1

2x-7y=-64 -------- eq2

Rearranging eq1:

-2x + y = 16 ---------- eq3

By adding eq2 and eq3:

-6y = -48

Dividing both sides by -6:

y = 8

Putting value of in eq1 we get:

8 = 2x + 16

By simplifying:

subtracting 16 from both sides:

8-16 = 2x

-8 = 2x

Dividing both sides by 2 we get:

x = -4

So the solution set for given system will be: (-4, 8)

i hope it will help you!
