Hi,
Solve using the elimination method.
-5x + 4y = -16 
-15x + 2y = -58

 15x - 12y = 48  |Multiplying 1st EQ thru by -3 and adding the EQs to eliminate x
-15x + 2y = -58 
      -10y = -10
         y = 1  and x = 4  ( -5x + 4 = -16, -5x = -20, x = 4 )

CHECKING our Answer***
-15x + 2y = -58
-60 + 2  = -58
