Explanation:

x + 6y = 8 ........... ( ×2 ) ....... ( 1 )

2x + 4y = -8 ......... ( × 1 ) ....... ( 2 )

2x + 12y = 16

- - -

2x + 4y = -8

+12y - ( +4y ) = 16 - 8

12y - 4y = 8

8y = 8

divide both sides by the coefficient of y ( 8 )

8y / 8 = 8 / 8

y = 1

substitute for x in equation ( 1 )

x + 6y = 8

x + 6 ( 1 ) = 8

x + 6 = 8

x = 8 - 6

x = 2

x = 2 , y = 1
