<em><u>Solution:</u></em>
<em><u>Given system of equations are:</u></em>
8x + 5y = 18 ------- eqn 1
6x + y = -2 -------- eqn 2
Multiply eqn 2 by -5
-30x -5y = 10 ----- eqn 3
Add eqn 1 and eqn 3 so that y terms gets eliminated
8x + 5y = 18
-30x -5y = 10
( + ) --------------
-22x = 28
Divide both sides by -22

Substitute the x value in eqn 1
