Answer:

{y,x} = {-8,1}

Explanation:

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable y

[2] y = -8x

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] (-8x) - 6x = -14

[1] - 14x = -14

// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] 14x = 14

[1] x = 1

// By now we know this much :

y = -8x

x = 1

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = -8(1) = -8

Solution :

{y,x} = {-8,1}
