Question

Solve using systems by substitution whats is y=x+8 and x+y=2

Answer 1

Explanation:

y = x + 8

x + y = 2

using substitution, since y is equal to x + 8 we substitute it for the y in x + y = 2

so we get: x + (x+8) =2

then we simplify, getting 2x + 8 = 2

We make the x on its own on one side of the equation by subtracting 8 on both sides.

2x = -6

divide

x = -3

y = 5

(if x = -3, y = 5 because -3 + 8 =5)

test answer

5 = -3 + 8 works and -3 + 5 = 2 works as well
