Question

Solve the system by substitution.
y=X - 8
y = 2x – 14.

Answer 1

Your answer would be (6,-2)

Answer 2

Hey there!

The answer to your question is (6, -2)

To solve for substitution, we simply make the right side of the equations equal to each other:

`x-8=2x-14`

Add
`14` to both sides:

`x + 6 = 2x`

Subtract
`x` from both sides

`6=x`

Now, we have to solve for
`y`, and we can do so by plugging in the value of
`x` in to one of the equations:

`y = 6 - 8`

`y = -2`

Therefore, your solution is (6, -2)

Have a terrificly amazing day!
