Answer:

(x, y) = (1, -3)

Explanation:

The x-term has a coefficient of 1 in the first equation, making it easy to write and expression that can be substituted for x:

x = -3y -8

Using this in the second equation, we have ...

4(-3y -8) -3y = 13

-15y -32 = 13

-45 = 15y

-3 = y

Then the value of x is ...

x = -3(-3) -8 = 1

The solution is (x, y) = (1, -3).
