Answer
x = -2
y = 0
Work Step by Step
8x = -11y - 16 first equation
8x + 11 y = -16 subtract 11y from both sides
2x + 3y = -4 second equation
-8x -12y = 16 multiply by -4 .
we have 8x + 11y = -16
-8x -12y =16
___________________
-y = 0 add the equations to eleminate x
y = 0
let y = 0 in first equation
8x = -$11\times0$ -16
8x = -16
x = -2 divide both sides by 8
