The second equation appears to have a typo. Please double-check and correct the equation.

Apologies for the confusion. It seems there was a mistake in your equation. The equation -2x = y = 8 contains two equal signs, which is not possible in a single equation. Please revise the equation or provide a new one.

To solve the system of equations:

Multiply the second equation by 2 to eliminate the coefficient of -2x:
-2x + y = 8
2(-2x + y) = 2(8)
-4x + 2y = 16

Now, we have the system of equations:
3x + 2y = 2
-4x + 2y = 16

Next, we can eliminate the variable y by subtracting the second equation from the first equation:

(3x + 2y) - (-4x + 2y) = 2 - 16
3x + 2y + 4x - 2y = -14
7x = -14

Divide both sides of the equation by 7 to solve for x:
7x/7 = -14/7
x = -2

Now substitute the value of x back into one of the original equations to solve for y:

3x + 2y = 2
3(-2) + 2y = 2
-6 + 2y = 2
2y = 8
y = 4

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = -2 and y = 4.
