Answer:
(x, y) = (1, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The x-term has a coefficient of 1 in the first equation, making it easy to write and expression that can be substituted for x:
x = -3y -8
Using this in the second equation, we have ...
4(-3y -8) -3y = 13
-15y -32 = 13
-45 = 15y
-3 = y
Then the value of x is ...
x = -3(-3) -8 = 1
The solution is (x, y) = (1, -3).
