Given: 
Find: 
Solution: In order to solve for n we need to add 8 to both sides which would cancel -8 on the right side and isolate n giving us the value of n.
<u>Add 8 to both sides</u>
Therefore, the final answer would be that n is equal to -11.
Answer:
Since both equations are equal to y, we can set them equal to each other.
y =-3x +8
y = -5x -2
-3x +8 = -5x -2
Solve for x.To do this, we need to get x by itself. First, move all the numbers to one side of the equation, and all the variables to the other.
-3x +8 = -5x -2
Add 5x to both sides
-3x+5x +8=-5x+5x -2
2x+8=-2
Subtract 8 from both sides
2x+8-8 = -2-8
2x=-10
Now, all the numbers are on one side, with the variables on the other. x is not by itself, it is being multiplied by 2. To undo this, divide both sides by 2
2x/2= -10/2
x= -5
Now, to find y, substitute -5 in for x in one of the equations.
y = -5x -2
y= -5(-5) -2
y=25-2
y=23
Put the solution into (x,y)
<u><em>The solution is (-5, 23)</em></u>
Pretty sure it’s 4. Hope this helped :)
