- 4x = y + 8
Soloct the correct choice helow and if necessary fill in the answer box to complete your choice​

Answer 1

no solution

Explanation:

use the second equation because y is already by itself

-4 x = y + 8

y = -4x - 8

substitute:

12x + 3(-4x - 8) = 22

distribute the 3:

12x -12x - 24 = 22

0 - 24 = 22

-24 ≠ 22
