Answer:

What value of x makes this equation true? 2(4x-3) - 8= 4+2x​ HERE YOU GO!!

Explanation:

We need to eliminate one of the variables to solve the other.

4x+5y = 8

2x-3y = 18

I will multiply the second equation by -2.

-2*(2x-3y = 18)

-4x + 6y = -36 and then add the two equations

4x + 5y = 8

-4x + 6y = -36

+ adding here

11y = -24

y = -24/11

substitute x in one of the equations to find y.

2x-3y=18

2x - (3*-24/11) = 18

2x = 126/11

x = 126/22
