Answer:

x = 8

y = -8

Explanation:

1. у = - 2х +8

2. - 7x - бу = - 8

Substitute y in equation 2 using equation 1

-7x - 6(-2x+8) = -8

-7x -(-12x) - 48 = - 8

Two negatives = positive

-7x + 12x - 48 = -8

5x - 48 = - 8

Plus 48 on both sides

5x = 40

Isolate x by dividing both sides by 5

x = 8

Using the value of x, find what y is.

y = -2(8) + 8

y = -16 + 8

y = -8

Hope this helps :)

Have an awesome day!
