Answer:

Your first step in solving the system would be to substitute the value of a variable into one of the equations

Explanation:

We know that x = 2y + 2 and y = -1/3x + 4, so we could insert one of these values as the variable in one of the equations

If we were to insert -1/3x + 4 for y, our new equation would be:

x = 2(-1/3x + 4) + 2 (as you can see, the value of y was inserted into the equation)
