Question 377894
Then use the multiplication principle and then use the elimination method:
3x=8y+11
x+6y-8=0 
----------------
Multiply the 2nd equation by -3 and rearrange the equations:
3x -8y = 11
-3x-18y = -24
-----
Add and solve for "y":
-26y = -13
y = 1/2
----
Substitute for "y" and solve for "x":
x+6(1/2)-8 = 0
x + 3-8 = 0
x = 5
