Answer 1

(3, 2)

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

• Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
• Equality Properties

Algebra I

• Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination
• Solving systems of equations by graphing

Explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

2x + 8y = 22

8x - 8y = 8

Step 2: Solve for x

Elimination

1. Add 2 equations together: 10x = 30
2. Divide 10 on both sides: x = 3

Step 3: Solve for y

1. Define original equation: 8x - 8y = 8
2. Substitute in x: 8(3) - 8y = 8
3. Multiply: 24 - 8y = 8
4. Subtract 24 on both sides: -8y = -16
5. Divide -8 on both sides: y = 2

Step 4: Graph systems

Check the systems.
