\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-4y=28\\2x+y=2&\text{multiply both sides by 4}\end{array}\right\\\\\underline{+\left\{\begin{array}{ccc}x-4y=28\\8x+4y=8\end{array}\right}\qquad\text{add both sides of the equations}\\.\qquad9x=36\qquad\text{divide both sides by 9}\\.\qquad\boxed{x=4}\\\\\text{Put the value of x to the second equation:}\\\\2(4)+y=2\\8+y=2\qquad\text{subtract 8 from both sides}\\\boxed{y=-6}\\\\Answer:\ \boxed{x=4\ and\ y=-6\to(4,\ -6)}
