<PRE><B>Question 461159</B>
-3	x		-8	y	=	-88	.............1		
-3	x		-2	y	=	-40	.............2		
									
multiply (1)by 		1							
Multiply (2) by		-4							
-3	x		-8	y	=	-88			
12	x		+8	y	=	160			
Add the two equations									
9	x				=	72			
/	9								
x	=	8							
plug value of 			x	in (1)					
-3	x		-8	y	=	-88			
-24			-8	y	=	-88			
			-8	y	=	-88	+	24	
			-8	y	=	-64			
				y	=	8
