<u>Given these two equations:</u>
We want to solve using the substitution method. Knowing that x is equal to y + 8, we can simply plug in 'y + 8' in for x in the second equation, like so:
Combine like terms on both sides:
Subtract y from both sides:
Subtract 8 from both sides:
Now, we can simply plug the y value in to the first equation, and solve for x:
Simplify:
