2x - 2y = -2

x - 4y = 5

In x -4y =5, add 4y to both sides to get x = 4y +5

Now substitute that equation for x in the first equation:

2x - 2y = -2

2(4y +5) - 2y = -2

Simplify:

8y +10 - 2y = -2

Combine like terms:

6y +10 = -2

Subtract 10 from both sides:

6y = -12

Divide both sides by 6:

y = -12 /6

y = -2

Now you have y, substitute y in the second equation to solve for x:

x - 4y = 5

x -4(-2) = 5

Simplify:

x+8 = 5

Subtract 8 from both sides:

x = -3

Now you have x = -3 and y = -2

The answer is (-3,-2)

Answer:

(-3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at the second equation, we can easily rearrange it to make x the subject.

x - 4y = 5

x = 4y + 5

Now lets put that into the second equation

2x - 2y = -2

2(4y + 5) - 2y = -2

6y + 10 = -2

6y = -12

y = -2

Now lets find x!

x = 4y + 5

x = 4(-2) + 5

x = -3

Now lets format the answer like the question says (ordered pair)

(-3, -2)

Recap: We used substitution and made an equation to work out one of the variables first, then found the second variable using the first.

If the point (a,3) lies on the graph of the equation 5x + y = 8, then a=<br>a.01<br>b.0-1<br>c.0-7​
fomenos

Answer:

A (a = 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

A coordinate point is always in the form (x,y) that means the first point is always x-coordinate and the second point is always y-coordinate.

The equation given is:

5x + y = 8

The point is (a,3), so that means x = a and y = 3

We substitute the values into the equation and find a. Shown below:

5x + y = 8

5(a) + (3) = 8

5a + 3 = 8

5a = 8 - 3

5a = 5

a = 5/5

a = 1

Answer choice A is right
