    Eliminate y's

    times first equation by - 1 and add to 2nd

    6x+5y=12

    -8x-5y=4 +

    -2x+0y=16

    -2x=16

    divide both sides by - 2

    x=-8

    sub back

    6x+5y=12

    6 (-8) + 5y=12

    -48+5y=12

    add 48 to oth sides

    5y=60

    divide both sides by 5

    y=12

    x=-8

    y=12

    (-8,12)
