Solution:
We can solve this system of equations using the elimination method.
- Multiply the first equation by 2 to make the coefficients of y opposites:
$$2(8x + 2y) = 2(11)
ightarrow 16x + 4y = 22$$
- Add the modified first equation to the second equation:
$$(16x + 4y) + (6x - 4y) = 22 + 11$$
$$22x = 33$$
- Solve for x:
$$x = \frac{33}{22} = \frac{3}{2}$$
- Substitute the value of x back into the first equation:
$$8(\frac{3}{2}) + 2y = 11$$
$$12 + 2y = 11$$
$$2y = 11 - 12$$
$$2y = -1$$
$$y = -\frac{1}{2}$$
Answer: $$x=\frac{3}{2}, y=-\frac{1}{2}$$
