    The solution is (7, 1).

    Step-by-step explanation:

    2x - 6y = 8 Multiply this by - 5.

    5x - 4y = 31 Multiply this by 2.

    -10x + 30y = - 40 ... (1)

    10x - 8y = 62 ... (2)

    Adding (1) and (2):

    22y = 22

    y = 1.

    Substitute for y in the first equation:

    2x - 6 (1) = 8

    2x = 14

    x = 7.
