Question

Which solution can be used to fill in both blanks in the table

Answer 1

(5, 2)

Explanation:

As 8x = 40

x = 40÷8

x = 5

This is the first solution

Then 4x + 4y = 28

We know that x = 5 as above

So let's substitute it:

4x + 4y = 28

(4 × 5) + 4y = 28

20 + 4y = 28

Let's get the 20 to other side

20 - 20 + 4y = 28 - 20

4y = 8

y = 8 ÷ 4

y = 2

Hence we get these two solutions

(5,2)
