  • Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

y = -8x

4x - y = 3

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

  1. Substitute in y: 4x - (-8x) = 3
  2. Simplify: 4x + 8x = 3
  3. Combine like terms: 12x = 3
  4. Isolate x: x = 3/12
  5. Simplify: x = 1/4

Step 3: Solve for y

  1. Define equation: y = -8x
  2. Substitute in x: y = -8(1/4)
  3. Multiply: y = -2
