Explanation:
8x + 3y = 7 --------(1)
2x + y = 2 ----------(2)
y = 2 – 2x ---------(3)
just substitute for y in equation (1)
8x + 3(2–2x) = 7
8x + 6 – 6x = 7
8x – 6x + 6 = 7
2x = 7 – 6
2x = 1
x = ½
since x = ½ just substitute for x in equation(3)
y = 2 – 2x
y = 2 – 2(½)
y = 2 – 1
y = 1
so x = ½,y = 1
i hope this helped
