equation 1: 5x-2y= 16

equation 2: 3x-2y=8

Using elimination method, solve both equations into each other:

5x-2y-3x-2y=16-8 ( we have added a minus sign because we are eliminating )

Next deduct the like terms, etc -2y:

5x-3x= 8

2x= 8

x= 4 Ans

Since we have found the value of x, now let's find the value of y. Use any of the 2 ructions from above to solve for y, mainly equation 2 is more permissible:

3x-2y= 16

3(4) -2y= 16

12-2y= 16

-2y= 16-12

-2y= 4

y= 2 Ans

Ans= x= 4 and y= 2
