Answer:

Explanation:

1)

First we add what we know for y into the second equation.

5x - 4(x +2)= -3

From there, we simplify it

5x-4x-8= -3

x-8=-3

Now we get the x on its own

x=5

and now we add x=5 into the first equation that we had and simplify to find y

y=5+2

y=7

So the answer is x=5, y=7 or (5,7)

2)

For this one we do the same thing as with 1.

Add what we know for y (bottom equation) to the top equation

3x-8(x-8)=24

Now we simplify

3x-8x+64=24

-5x+64=24

And now solve for X

-5x=-40

x=8

And then substitute x=8 to find y

y=8=8

y=0

So the answer is x=8, y=0 or (8,0)
