Answer

$\{(1,3)\}$

Work Step by Step

1. The second equation has 1 as a coefficient of y. Solve it for y. $y=6-3x$ 2. Substitute y in the other equation and solve. $8x-10(6-3x)=-22$ $8x-60+30x=-22\qquad/+60$ $38x=38\qquad/\div 38$ $x=1$ 3. Back-substitute into the expression of y (step 1). $y=6-3(1)=3$ 4. Write the solution as an ordered pair. Solution set: $\{(1,3)\}$
