a. The given equation is:


-8x+36=20

Subtract 36 from both sides:


\begin{gathered} -8x+36-36=20-36 \\ -8x=-16 \end{gathered}

Divide both sides by -8:


\begin{gathered} -8x/-8=-16/-8 \\ x=2 \end{gathered}

b. The given equation is:


x+y=12

Replace the x-value we find in the previous part, and solve:


2+y=12

Subtract 2 from both sides:


\begin{gathered} 2+y-2=12-2 \\ y=10 \end{gathered}

c. The answer is: (2,10)
