Answer:

x = -32/3

y =28/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 16

-5x-4y = 16

Add the equations

2x + 4y = 16

-5x-4y = 16

--------------------

-3x = 32

Divide each side by -3

x = -32/3

Now solve for y

2x+4y = 16

2(-32/3) +4y = 16

-64/3 +4y = 16

Multiply each side by 3 to get rid of the fractions

-64 +3*4y = 16*3

-64 + 12y = 48

Add 64 to each side

12y = 112

Divide by 12

12y/12 = 112/12

y =28/3
