Answer: (-8,8)

Explanation:


\displaystyle\\\left \{ {{2x=96-14y\ \ \ \ (1)} \atop {9x=40-14y\ \ \ \ (2) \right. \\\\

Multiply both parts of the equation (1) by (-1):


\displaystyle\\\left \{ {{-2x=-96+14y} \atop {9x=40-14y \right. \\\\

Sum these equations:


7x=-56

Divide both parts of the equation by 7:


x=-8

Let us substitute the value of x=-8 into equation (1):


2(-8)=96-14y\\\\-16=96-14y\\\\-16-96=96-14y-96\\\\-112=-14y

Divide both parts of the equation by -14:


8=y\\\\Thus,\ y=8
