    The solution is (0.4; -4.2). I'm not sure since my solution is none of your alternatives, but I don't think I have made any mistakes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Replace the y at the second eq.

    -8x-4 (2x-5) = -20

    -16x+20=-20

    -16x=-40

    x=0.4

    Therefore y equals:

    2*0.4-5=-4.2
