Answer:

(14, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve by using substitution, begin by solving for a variable in the first equation. Let's solve for x:

x+8y=-2\\x=-2-8y

Now we know what <em>x</em> equals. Let's substitute this into the second equation:

x-3y=20\\(-2-8y)-3y=20

We can then simplify:

-2-8y-3y=20 Given equation

-2-11y=20 Combine y terms

-11y=22 Add 2

y=-2 Divide by -11

So, we now know the value of y = -2.

To find the value of X, we can substitute the value of Y into one of the equations. Let's use the first one:

x+8y=-2

x+8(-2)=-2 Substitute for y

x-16=-2 Distribute 8

x=14 Add 16

So, we now know the value of x = 14.

Therefore, we know a solution to the system of equations is (14, -2).
