I'm not even going to bother with the substitution method.
Instead of all that, I just want to show you something:

Take the FIRST equation:

y - 2x = 8
Add 2x to
each side: y = 8 + 2x

Multiply each
side by 2 : 2y = 16 + 4x

Look at that ! The first equation says the same thing as the second one !
Both of them are actually the same equation.
You actually have only one equation, with 'x' and 'y' in it.
If you graph it, the graph is a straight line, and EVERY point
on the line is a solution of the equation.

==> There are an infinite number of solutions, because
they only gave you one equation, with two unknown variables.
To find a unique solution, you'd need two equations.

1.3( x + 2 )-( y - 6) <br> Help please

mestny [16]

Basically, we need to plug in the given values for the variables $x$ and $y$ into the given expression $1.3(x+2)-(y-6)$ . First off, we can plug in all the given values into the expression, giving us $1.3(4+2)-(2-6)$ . Now, perform the operations on the inside of the parentheses. Doing this, we get $1.3(6)-(-4)$ . Now, we use the distributive property to simplify. This gives us $7.8+4$ . Finally, when we add the two numbers, we get $\boxed{11.8}$ . Hope this helped!
