2x = 5y + 4
2x - 5y = 4

3x - 2y = -16 -->(-2)
2x - 5y = 4 ---->(3)
-----------------
-6x + 4y = 32 (result of multiplying by -2)
6x - 15y = 12 (result of multiplying by 3)
----------------add
-11y = 44
y = -4

2x = 5y + 4
2x = 5(-4) + 4
2x = -20 + 4
2x = -16
x = -8

solution is (-8,-4)
