(5x + 6y + 8) + 3(3x - 2y + 16) = 0 + 3(0) (add 3 times the second equation to the first)
5x + 6y + 8 + 9x - 6y + 48 = 0 (eliminate parentheses)
14x + 56 = 0 (collect terms)
x + 4 = 0 (divide by 14)
x = -4 (subtract 4)
3(-4) - 2y + 16 = 0 (substitute for x in the second equation)
4 - 2y = 0 (collect terms)
2 - y = 0 (divide by 2)
2 = y (add y)
The solution is (x, y) = (-4, 2).
