2. - 4x + 5y = 1

4x + 4y = 8

( - 1, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

- 4x + 5y = 1 → (1)

4x + 4y = 8 → (2)

Adding (1) and (2) term by term will eliminate the term in x

9y = 9 (divide both sides by 9)

y = 1

Substitute y = 1 into either (1) or (2) for corresponding value of x

Substituting in (1)

4x + 5 (1) = 1, that is

4x + 5 = 1 (subtract 5 from both sides)

4x = - 4 (divide both sides by 4)

x = - 1

Solution is ( - 1, 1)
