Answer:
x=8.4
Explanation:
4x +8y=40
replace y as 0.8
4x+8*0.8=40
4x+6.4=40
subtract 6.4 from both sides
4x=33.6
divide by 4
4x + 8y = 40
Simplify the equation
Divide all terms by 4
We have
x + 4y = 10
Make x the subject
x = 10 - 2y
When y = 0.8
Substitute the value of y into the equation
x = 10 - 2(0.8)
x = 10 - 1.6
x = 8.4
