first make x at left had side
x+4x= 16
5x = 16
x = 16/5
then
3x+4y =8
4y =8 -3x
y = 1/4(8 - 3x)
insert x
y = 1/4(8 - 3(16/5))
y =-2/5

x=16-4y as first equation,
3x+4y=8 change to 3x=8-4y then to x=1/3(8-4y) and take as second equation
first equation = second equation as x = x
16-4y =1/3(8-4y)
3(16-4y)= 8-4y
48-12y = 8 -4y
48-8 = 12y -4y
40 = 8y
5 = y
then insert y=5
into x=16-4y
x =16-4(5)
x= -4
then x=-4 and y=5
