-8x-3y=-24

y=-4x+8

First, express both equations in the form:

ax+by= c

-8x-3y=-24 (a)

4x+y= 8 (b)

Multiply (b) by 2 and add both equations:

-8x-3y=-24

+

8x+2y=16

_________

-y= -8

Multiply both sides by -1

y=8

Replace y on (b) and solve for x

4x+8=8

4x =8-8

4x=0

x=0/4

x=0

y=8

x=0
