Hi if u could answer this as soon as possible.
y=5x+2
y=−x+8
​

Answer 1

Greetings!

Answer:

x = 1

Explanation:

Because both sides are the same:

5x + 2 = -x + 8

We need to collect all the x terms on one side, by moving the -x over to the other side making it a positive.

5x + x + 2 = 8

Now move the +2 over to the other side making it a -2:

6x = 8 - 2

6x = 6

Now divide both sides by six to get one x:

x = 1

So x is 1!

Hope this helps!
