first you have to rearrange the second.
4x+8=y
now plug 4x+8 for y in the first
5x-2*(4x+8)=-7
5x-8x-16=-7
-3x=9
x=-3
now plug that into the second and solve for y
8=y-4*(-3)
8=y+12
-4=y
(x,y)=(-3,-4)

Set-Up:
-----------
Equation 1:
Equation 2:
-----------
Solution:
----------
You need to solve one of the equations for one variable. in this case I thin that solving equation 2 for Y is the easiest.
Equation 2: Add 4X to both sides

Now you can plug (8 + 4X) into equation 1 for Y
Equation 1:
Simplify
Simplify
Add 16 to both sides
Divide both sides by -3

--------------
Now plug -3 into equation 2 for X
