-3x - 8y = 20 .... (1)
-5x + y = 19 .... (2)
What we can do is take the (2) equation
-5x + y = 19
and solve for y by adding 5x to both sides
y = 24

-3x - 8(24) = 20
-3x - 192 = 20
we want to solve for x so we need to get its self.
add 192 to both sides
-3x = 212
now we divide both sides by -3. It's going to be a fraction.
x =
