Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-6,8)...x = -6 and y = 8

lets start subbing

5x + 3y = -6

5(-6) + 3(8) = -6

-30 + 24 = -6

-6 = -6

so (-6,8) IS a solution to this equation

2x + y = -4

2(-6) + 8 = -4

-12 + 8 = -4

-4 = -4

so (-6,8) IS a solution to this equation

A. It is the only solution to the system
