C)(-2, 1)
D)No solution

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Solving the second equation for x gives x = (-2 - 3y)/2. Substituting this into the first equation yields 8((-2 - 3y)/2) + 7y = -8, which simplifies to -8 - 12y + 7y = -8, leading to -5y = 0, so y = 0. Substituting y = 0 into x = (-2 - 3y)/2 gives x = -1. Therefore, the solution is (-1, 0).
