Question

Solve this system of equations using substitution:

Answer 1

The substitution method means you replace the variable in one equation with the other equation, so your new equation is x+4x-8=10. Add 10 to both sides to get 5x=18. Divide both sides by 5 to get x=3.6. This is a weird equation, but then to get y, work backwords. 3.6 times 2=7.2. 7.2-4=3.2 y=3.2. Finally to finish checking solve the equation as normal. 3.6+6.4=10. I hope this helped! Please give brainliest!
Your final answer is x=3.6 y=3.2
