    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
