Question

Is (2, 10) a solution to this system of equations?
y = 4x + 2
y = x + 8

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

If y=4x+2 and y=x+8, then 4x+2=x+8

4x+2=x+8

4x=x+6

3x=6

x=2

Plugging this into the original equation "y=x+8", we obtain the result that y=10.

This means, (2, 10) is a solution to the system.

Let me know if this helps!

Answer 2

Yes, (2, 10) is a solution to this system:

y = 4x + 2

y = x + 8

Explanation:

When graphed, the two equations cross at (2,10) making it a solution.
