We are given the following system of equations:


\begin{gathered} 6x-4y=-8,(1) \\ y=-6x+2,(2) \end{gathered}

To solve this system by substitution we will replace the value of "y" from equation (2) in equation (1)


6x-4(-6x+2)=-8

Now we use the distributive property:


6x+24x-8=-8

Now we add like terms:


30x-8=-8

Now we add 8 to both sides:


30x-8+8=-8+8

Solving the operations:


30x=0

Dividing by 30:


x=(0)/(30)=0

Therefore x = 0. Now we replace the value of "x" in equation (2):


\begin{gathered} y=-6x+2 \\ y=-6(0)+2 \\ y=2 \end{gathered}

Therefore, the solution of the system is:


(x,y)=(0,2)
