Hi

solve the linear system by using elimination 

 3x - 4y = -16 

 x - 4y = -40



 3x - 4y = -16 

 -x + 4y = 40    |multiplying 2nd EQ by -1 and adding to 1st EQ

   2x = 24

    x = 12  and y = 13     |, 12+40 = 4y, y = 52/4

CHECKING our answer***

using:  3x - 4y = -16 

 36 - 52= -16

Wish You the Best in your Studies.
