You can put this solution on YOUR website!
8x+%2B+5y+=+14.......(1)
x+=+46+-+8y.........(2)
Put the value of x from (2) to (1)
8%2846+-+8y%29+%2B+5y+=+14.......(1)
368+-+64y+%2B+5y+=+14
368+-+64y+%2B+5y+=+14
-+59y+=+14-368
-+59y+=+-354
-+59y%2F-59+=+-354%2F-59
y+=+6
Put the value of y in (2)
x+=+46+-+8%286%29.........(2)
x+=+46+-+48
x+=+-2
x,y=-2,6
