-40=-k
Consider the first equation. Multiply both sides of the equation by 8.
-k=-40
Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.
k=\frac{-40}{-1}
Divide both sides by -1.
k=40
Fraction \frac{-40}{-1} can be simplified to 40 by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.
b=-2
Consider the second equation. Multiply both sides by 2.
k=40 b=-2
The system is now solved.
