Explanation: Using Substitution:
______________________________________________________
y = 8 − x ;
7 = 2 − y ;
___________________________________
Solve for "x" and "y" using using substitution;
_________________________________________
Take the second equation given:
____________________________________________
7 = 2 − y ;
And considering the first equation given: " y = 8 − x " ;
_________________________________________________
Substitute the value: "8 − x" for (the value of "y" in the first equation given), in order to solve for "x" ;
_________________________________________________
7 = 2 − y ;
________________________________________
7 = 2 − 8 − x ;
__________________________________________
7 = -6 − x ;
__________________________________________
Add "6" to EACH side of the equation:
__________________________________________
7 + 6 = -6 − x + 6 ;
__________________________________________
to get: 13 = -x ;
__________________________________________
13 = -x ; ↔ -x = 13 ; ↔ -1 x = 13 ;
___________________________________________
Divide EACH side of the equation by "-1 " ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation; and to solve for "x" ;
___________________________________________
-1 x / -1 = 13 / -1 ;
___________________________________________
x = 13 . At this point, the only answer choice that can be correct is answer choice: "[B]: (13, -5)" ; since it is the only answer choice given with a solution of x = 13;
___________________________________________
Nonetheless, we shall continue.
___________________________________________
Now that we have the solution for "x"; "x = 13"; We shall plug this value into, or "SUBSTITUTE" this value, "13", for "x", into the first equation given, " y = 8 − x " ; to find the value of "y" ; as follows:
__________________________________________
y = 8 − x ;
____________________________________________
y = 8 − 13 ;
____________________________________________
y = -5 .
_____________________________________________
So, we have x = 13; and y = -5; or write as: (13, -5) . This solution corresponds directly which answer choice: [B]:
__________________________________________________
Also, to confirm, let us plug in our solved value for "y", which is "-5" ; into our second equation, to see if the equation holds true:
_____________________________________________
7 = 2 − y ;
_____________________________________________
7 =? 2 − (-5) ?? ;
_____________________________________________
7 =? 2 + 5 ? ? Yes !
