Question

Solve the given system using the substitution method
2x+3y=1
y=x-8

Answer 1

Answer:

(5,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

subsitute

y=x-8

since y=x-8, subsitute x-8 for y

2x+3(x-8)=1

distribute (a(b+c)=ab+ac)

3(x-8)=3x-24

2x+3x-24=1

combine like terms

5x-24=1

add 24 to both sides

5x=25

divide 5

x=5

subsitute

y=x-8

y=5-8

y=-3

x=5

y=-3 is solution

in (x,y) forom

(5,-3) is the solution
