Hi

  y = 3x+26

 8x - 2y = -70

 8x-2(3x+26) = -70     |substituting for y

 8x - 6x - 52 = -70

      2x = -18

       x = -9  and y = -1   (-27+26)



CHECKING our Answer***

  8x - 2y = -70

  -72 + 2 = -70

 plug in 3x+26 for y in the first equation

8x-2*(3x+26)=-70

now solve for x

8x-6x-52=-70

2x=-18

x=-9

now plug 9 in for x in either equation

3*(-9)+26=y

-27+26=y

-1=y
