Answer:

(7, - 1)

Explanation:


x = y + 8.....(1) \\ \\ x = 5y + 12....(2) \\ \\ from \: equations \: (1) \: and \: (2) \\ \\ 5y + 12 = y + 8 \\ \\ 5y - y = 8 - 12 \\ \\ 4y = - 4 \\ \\ y = ( - 4)/(4) \\ \\ y = - 1 \\ \\ plug \: y = - 1 \: in \: equation \: (1) \\ \\ x = - 1 + 8 \\ \\ x = 7 \\ \\ (x, \: y) = (7, \: - 1)
