To solve the system of equations, we can use elimination or substitution. Let’s use elimination in this case. We have the system: 1. \(-10x + 8y = -44\) 2. \(4x + 8y = 40\) First, we can eliminate \(y\) by subtracting one equation from the other. To do that, let's write both equations in a way that makes elimination straightforward. Subtract equation (2) from equation (1): \[ (-10x + 8y) - (4x + 8y) = -44 - 40 \] This simplifies to: \[ -10x - 4x + 8y - 8y = -84 \] \[ -14x = -84 \] Now, solve for \(x\): \[ x = \frac{-84}{-14} = 6 \] Now that we have \(x\), we can substitute it back into one of the original equations to find \(y\). Let's use equation (2): \[ 4(6) + 8y = 40 \] This simplifies to: \[ 24 + 8y = 40 \] Now, isolate \(y\): \[ 8y = 40 - 24 \] \[ 8y = 16 \] \[ y = \frac{16}{8} = 2 \] Thus, the solution to the system of equations is: \[ \boxed{(6, 2)} \]
