Question

Solve the following system of equations using the substitution method.

–6x + 2y = 8

y = 3x + 4
Question 11 options:

A)

No solution

B)

(0, 4)

C)

Infinitely many solutions

D)

(8, 8)

Answer 1

Answer:(0,4)

Explanation:

Answer 2

The answer would be B, (0,4) because of what happens when you plug these numbers in for x and y. For -6x+2y=8 you plug numbers in to make it -6(0)+2(4)=8 so then 8=8 which is a true statement. Then for the second equation, y=3x+4 you would plug in the numbers once more making it 4=3(0)+4 which is 4=4 resulting in a true statement. Therefore B would be the correct answer.
