Answer:

(x, y) = (1, -6)

Explanation:

The expression for y given by the first equation can be substituted into the second equation.

11x +(-8x +2) = 5 . . . substitute for y

3x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . simplify

3x = 3 . . . . . . . . . subtract 2

x = 1 . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

y = -8×1 +2 = -6 . . . . use the first equation to find y

The solution is (x, y) = (1, -6).
