Solve the system by the substitution method.
7x + 8y = -22
3x - y = 26
Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.
O A. The solution set is { } (Type an ordered pair.)
O B. There are infinitely many solutions.
O C. There is no solution.

A) The solution set is (6,-8).

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - y = 26

-3x       - 3x        Subtract 3x from both sides

-y = -3x + 26     Divide both sides by -1

y = 3x - 26

Now plug this into 7x + 8y = -22 to solve for x

7x + 8(3x - 26) = -22        Distribute

7x + 24x - 208 = -22       Combine like terms

31x - 208 = -22

     + 208    + 208            Add 208 to both sides

31x = 186                           Divide both sides by 31

x  = 6

Plug this into y = 3x - 26 to solve for y

y = 3(6) - 26           Multiply

y = 18 - 26              Subtract

y = -8
