Question 309350
Add the two equations together to eliminate x. Solve for y, then go back and solve for x.
{{{5x-3y+(-5x+y)=8+4}}}
{{{-2y=12}}}
{{{highlight_green( y=-6 )}}}
Then use either equation to solve for x.
{{{5x-3y=8}}}
{{{5x-3(-6)=8}}}
{{{5x+18=8}}}
{{{5x=-10}}}
{{{highlight_green( x=-2)}}}
