Answer 1

The answer would be (-2, -5)

Explanation:

3x - 8y= 34

2(7x + 4y = -34)

3x - 8y=34

14x + 8y= -68

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

17x= -34 divided by 17

x = -2

3(-2) -8y= 34

-6 -8y =34 add 6

-8y= 40 divide by -8

y = -5

if you want to check the answer replacing -2 for x and -5 for y

7(-2) + 4(-5)= -34

-14 + (-20) = -34

-34 = -34

I hope this help sorry I'm not good explaining
