X + y = 2
Substitute x + 8 into y
x + x + 8 = 2
2x + 8 =2
(Subtract 8 from both sides)
2x = -6
(Divide both sides by 2)
x = -3
Subsitute x = -3 into either equation to find y
x + y = 2
-3 + y = 2
(Add 3 to both sides)
y = 2 + 3
y = 5
Or y can be solved for using:
y = x + 8
y = -3 + 8
y = 5
The true statement about Sam’s conjecture is that the conjecture is not correct
<h3>How to determine if Sam’s conjecture is correct or not?</h3>
Sam’s conjecture is given as:
For x ≤ - 2
It is true that x^5 + 7 > x^3.
The inequality x ≤ - 2 means that the highest value of x is -2
Assume the value of x is -2, then we have:
(-2)^5 + 7 > (-2)^3
Evaluate the exponents
-32 + 7 > -8
Evaluate the sum
-25 > -8
The above inequality is false because -8 is greater than -25 i.e. -8 > -25 or -25 < -8
Hence, the true statement about Sam’s conjecture is that the conjecture is not correct

You need to convert the second equation to slope/intercept form. The first equation is in that form already. Then you can compare slopes.
-6x + 8y = 14
8y = 6x + 14
y = (3/4)x + 14/8
SO THE SLOPE IS 3/4 which is the same as slope of equation 1
Therfore they are parallel.
