Solve by Elimination:

8x + 6y = - 5

10x + 6y = - 13

x = - 4 and y = 27/6

Step-by-step explanation:

- (8x + 6y = - 5) which converts to - 8x - 6y = 5

10x + 6y = - 13

simplify from there

-8x + 10x = 2x; - 6y + 6y = 0; 5 - 13 = - 8

soo, now you have

2x = - 8

x = - 4

then, plug in to find y

8 (-4) + 6y = - 5

-32 + 6y = - 5 add 32 on both sides

6y = 27 divide both sides by 6

y = 27/6 or 4.5
