Given the system of equations:
4x + y = 7
x = 3y - 8
Let's solve using the substitution method.
To solve using substitution method, apply the following steps:
Step 1:
Substitute (3y - 8) for x in equation 1

Step 2:
Apply distributive property:

Combine like terms:

Step 3.
Solve for y.
Add 32 to both sides:

Step 4.
Substitute 3 for y in either of the equations.
Take equation 2:

Therefore, we have the solution:
x = 1, y = 3
ANSWER:
• x = 1
,
• y = 3
