Answer:
x=7
Step-by-step explanation:
set up the equation equal to each other
8x=2x+42
subtract 2x from 8x.
equation should look like: 6x=42
divide 6x by 42
equal x=7
Answer:
x = 7
y = 56
Step-by-step explanation:
Sub y = 8x into first equation
8x = 2x + 42
Rearrange by collecting like terms
8x - 2x = 42
6x = 42
x = 7
Sub x = 7 into second equation
y = 8*7
y = 56
