Final answer:
The system includes a typo in one equation, making it invalid. The correct equation, 4x - 2y = 8, solves to the linear equation y = 2x - 4. This can then be graphed by plotting points and drawing the line through them.
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve a system of linear equations like 4x - 2y = 8 and NICSX – 2, we must first correct the second equation's typo. Assuming it is meant to be '2y = X - 2' or '2y = NX - 2', where N is a number, we would proceed to solve the system by either substitution or elimination. However, since 'NICSX' is not mathematically valid, we will proceed with the only valid equation provided.
First, let's solve the equation 4x - 2y = 8 for y:
- Isolate y by adding 2y to both sides and subtracting 8 from both sides, giving 4x - 8 = 2y.
- Divide by 2 to solve for y, resulting in y = 2x - 4.
To graph this equation, we plot two points that satisfy the equation y = 2x - 4 and then draw a line through them. For example, if x = 0, y = -4 (point (0, -4)); if x = 2, y = 0 (point (2, 0)). Plotting these points and drawing a line through them gives the graph of the equation.
