Answer:

x = -2

y = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

8x + 5y = 24

y = -4x

Substitute y;

8x + 5(-4x) = 24

Distribute;

8x - 20x = 24

-12x = 24

Divide both sides by -12

x = -2

Substitute x;

y = -4(-2)

y = 8

x =-2
plug in y= equation into y
8x + -20x = 24
-12x =24
x=-2
plug in x value into original equation
-16 +5y=24
5y = 40
y=8
