need help with the Elimination method and
the problem is 4x-8y=8
and -10x+8y=28
--------
Simplify the equations:
x - 2y = 2
-5x + 4y = 14
--------
Multiply thru the top equation by 5 to get:
5x - 10y = 10
-5x + 4y = 14
----------------------
Add the equations and solve for "y"::
-6y = 24
---
y = -4
--------------------------
Solve for "x":
x - 2y = 2
x - 2*-4 = 2
x + 8 = 2
x = -6

4x-8y=8
-10x+8y=28
========
Eliminate the y by adding the equations together. Notice that the -8y +8y=0, so the resulting equation will not have y. It will have been eliminated.
-6x=36
x= -6
y:--24-8y=8
-8y=-32
y= -4
=====
Check with second equation
-10(-4) + 8 (-2)
40-16=24
(-6,-4)
