I found:
$x = \frac{9}{7}$ $x=9/7$
$y = \frac{86}{7}$ $y=86/7$

Explanation:

Let us take the first equation and substitute into the second for $x$ $x$ :
$- 8 (y - 11) + y = 2$ $-8(color(red)(y-11))+y=2$
solve for $y$ $y$ :
$- 8 y + 88 + y = 2$ $-8y+88+y=2$
$7 y = 86$ $7y=86$
so $y = \frac{86}{7}$ $y=86/7$
substitute this back into the first equation:
$x = \frac{86}{7} - 11 = \frac{9}{7}$ $x=86/7-11=9/7$
