Solve using elimination.
- 8x + 2y = -20
8x - 5y = 14

x = 3, y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

~ Through process of elimination ~

1.         - 8x + 2y = -20      

        +   8x - 5y = 14

2. Simplify to solve for y through simple algebra:

          2y - 5y = -20 + 14 ⇒ - 3y = - 6 ⇒ y = 2

3. Now substitute this value of y into the to equation - 8x + 2y = -20 to get x:

- 8x + 2 ( 2 ) = -20  ⇒

    -8x + 4 = -20 ⇒

       -8x = -24 ⇒

           x = 3

the correct answer would be:

220 centimeters

to get this you can use the pythagorean theorem
