Answer:
(2,-12)
Step-by-step explanation:
Correct equations:
8x+y=4
-2x-8=y
------------------
Rearrange the first equation:
8x+y=4
y=4-8x
Now use this value of y in the second equation:
-2x-8=y
-2x-8=4-8x
6x = 12
x = 2
When x = 2:
y=4-8x
y=4-8(2)
y = -12
(2,-12)

One can also graph the two equations and find the point they intersect. See the attached graph.
