Multiply the second equation by 2,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-8x%2B2y=48\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"2y=8x%2B48\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Substitute into the first equation,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"8x%2B8x%2B48=-16\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"16x=-64\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"x=-4\"$
\n" ); document.write( "Then use either equation to solve for y.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"-4%28-4%29%2By=24\"$
\n" ); document.write( "I'll let you finish that one to get y. \n" ); document.write( "
