You can put this solution on YOUR website! x+8y=-16 now multiply this equation by -4 & add it to the second equation thus:
-4x-32y=64
4x+9y=-18
-------------------------------------------------------------------
-23y=46
y=46/-23
y=-2 answer. now substitute 2 for y & solve for x thus:
x+8*-2=-16
x-16=-16
x=-16+16
x=0 answer.
proof
4*0+9-2=-18
-18=-18
