Answer:
x = 2 , y = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
by elimination method
+5y in equation 1 cancel -5y in equation 2
2x - 8x = -11 - 1
-6x = -12
divide both sides by - 6
- 6x/ -6 = -12/-6
x = 2
substitute x = 2 into equation ii
- 8 (2) - 5y = - 1
- 16 - 5y = - 1
collect like terms
- 5y = -1 + 16
- 5y = 15
divide both sides by -5y
-5y/-5y = 15/-5y
y = - 3
