Question

use the substitution method to solve the system of equations choose the correct ordered pair. 2x+2y=16 y=x-4

Answer 1

(6, 2)

Explanation:

Step 1: Substitute y in the 1st equation

2x + 2(x - 4) = 16

Step 2: Solve for x

2x + 2x - 8 = 16

4x - 8 = 16

4x = 24

x = 6

Step 3: Plug in x to find y

y = 6 - 4

y = 2
