Question

Solve the following system of equations:

y = 8x - 2
y = 4x + 2
A. (-1, -10)
B. (-2, -18)
C. (0, -2)
D. (2, 18)

Answer 1

The solution to the system of equations is (1, 6).

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the given system of equations:

y = 8x - 2

y = 4x + 2

We can set the two equations equal to each other:

8x - 2 = 4x + 2

Subtracting 4x from both sides:

4x - 2 = 2

Adding 2 to both sides:

4x = 4

Dividing both sides by 4, we get:

x = 1

Substituting this value of x into either equation, we can solve for y:

y = 8(1) - 2

y = 6

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (1, 6).
