Multiply the first equation by 4 (so that both equations will have 8x terms) and then subtract:

8x-20y = -24

8x +3y = 68

------------

0 -23y = -92

Now divide both sides by -23:

y = 4

Find x by plugging y=4 into either equation:

8x +3(4) = 68

8x = 68 - 12

8x = 56

x = 7

So the answer is ordered pair is (7,4)
