Question

Use substitution to solve the system of equation. 2x+2y=8 x+y=-2

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

find the value of y in the second equation

x + y = -2,

but y = -2-x as well

so take the value that we have found for (x) into the first equation

2x + 2(-2-x)= 8

-2x + -4-2x = 8

-4x-4=8

-4x = 12

x=-3,

now just substitute x value into either equation

x + y =-2

-3 + y = -2

y =1
