The solution to the system is
\(x = -(20)/(7)\) and
\(y = -(34)/(7)\). This is obtained by eliminating y through equation manipulation, leading to a unique solution.

To solve the system of equations 5x = 4y + 8 and 3x + 3y = -3, we can use the substitution or elimination method. Let's use elimination:

1. Multiply the second equation by 4 to make the coefficients of y in both equations equal:

5x = 4y + 8

12x + 12y = -12

2. Subtract the first equation from the modified second equation to eliminate y:

(12x + 12y) - (5x = 4y + 8)

7x = -20

3. Solve for x:
x = -(20)/(7) .

4. Substitute x back into one of the original equations, let's use the first one:


\[ 5\left(-(20)/(7)\right) = 4y + 8 \]

5. Solve for y:
\( y = -(34)/(7) \).

So, the solution to the system of equations is
\(x = -(20)/(7)\) and

\(y = -(34)/(7)\).
