\(\fbox{Solution by using Matrix}\) 

\(\text{Linear Equation} = -8x-8y=0 , -8x+2y=-20\)

\(\text{Rewrite the linear equations above as a matrix}\) 

\(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-8&0\\-8&2&-20\\\end{array}\right]\) 

\(\text{Apply to Row2 : Row2 + Row1}\) 

\(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-8&0\\-8&-6&-20\\\end{array}\right]\) 

\(\text{ Simplify rows}\) 

\(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&-8&0\\0&1&10/3\\\end{array}\right]\) 

\(\text{Note: The matrix is now in echelon form.}\)\(\text{The steps below are for back substitution.}\) 

\(\text{Apply to Row1 : Row1 + 8 Row2}\) 

\(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}8&0&80/30\\0&1&10/3\\\end{array}\right]\) 

\(\text{ Simplify rows}\)  

\(\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0&10/3\\0&1&10/3\\\end{array}\right]\) 

\(\text{Therefore, the solution is}\) 

\(x= \dfrac{10}{3} \ \text{and} \ \ y=\dfrac{10}{3}\)
