Answer:
x is 2
y is -2
Step-by-step explanation:
3x - 5y = 16 --(1)
x - 3y = 8
x = 8 + 3y --(2)
put value of x in eq.--(1)
3(8 + 3y) - 5y = 16
24 + 9y - 5y = 16
4y = 16 - 24
4y = - 8
y = -8/4
y = -2
Now, put value of y in eq.--(2)
x = 8 + 3(-2)
x = 8 - 6
x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:
3x-5y=16 --------(1)
x-3y=8. -------(2)
multiple equation 2 by 3
3x-9y=24 -------(3)
subtract Eq 1 from 3.
3x-9y=24
-3x+5y=-16
---------------------
-4y =8
::y=8/-4
y=-2
put value of your in eq 1
3x-5y=16
3x-5(-2)= 16
3x+10=16
3x=16-10
3x=6
x=6/3
x=2
y=-2 and x=2 is the solution
