Answer:

x = 0

y = -1

Explanation:

Multiply second equation with -1

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

3x + 8y = -8 now find its sum with the first equation

2x - 8y + 3x + 8y = 8 - 8 add like terms (note that minus 8y will eliminate +8y)

x = 0 to find the value of y replace the x with 0 in the first equation

2*0 - 8y = 8

-8y = 8 divide both sides by -8

y = -1
