The solution of the given system of equation is x = -3 and y = 4 respectively.
<h3>What is a system of linear equations?</h3>
A system of linear equations can be defined as a number of equations needed to solve the equations. For n number of variables n number of equations are required.
The given system of equations is as,
y = 4x + 16 (1)
y = −2x − 2 (2)
In order to solve them, substitute equation (2) into (1) as follows,
4x + 16 = −2x − 2
=> 4x + 2x = -2 - 16
=> 6x = -18
=> x = -3
Then, y = -2 × -3 - 2 = 4
Hence, the solution of the given system of equation is x = -3 and y = 4.
