Answer:
(x, y) = (2, -6)
Explanation:
Subtract the first equation from the second.
(8x -2y) -(5x -2y) = (28) -(22)
3x = 6
x = 2
Substitute this into either equation and solve for y.
8(2) -2y = 28
8 -y = 14 . . . . . . . . divide by 2
y = 8 -14 = -6 . . . . add y-14 to both sides
The solution is (x, y) = (2, -6).
