Answer:

x = -26 and y = -2

I hope this is the answer you are looking for

Explanation:

x-8y = -10 => add 8y to both sides

+8y = +8y

x = -10+8y

-2(-10+8y) -6y = -24 => intersect what you got into the first equation

20-16y-6y = -24 => Distribute the -2

20-22y = -24 => subtract 20 in both sides

-20 = -20

-22y = -44 => divided by -22 in both sides

/-22 = /-22

y = -2

x-8(-2) =-10 => intersect the y into the other equation

x+16 = -10 => multiply -8*-2

-16 = -16

x = -26 => subtract 16 in both sides.
