Question

What is 4x-2y=8 and y=2x+1 using substitution

Answer 1

Answer:

No Solution

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-2y=8

y=2x+1

Make the first equation into where it says y=.

-2y=-4x+8

y=2x-4

Substitute either equation into the other as y=.

2x+1=2x-4   or    2x-4=2x+1

Switch terms around so they're with their like terms. Make sure it becomes the opposite when switching.

2x-2x=-1-4    or    2x-2x=4+1

0=-5                     0=5

Since x did not come back to equal an answer, this problem is not workable. There is no solution to it. If you were to do it a different way, there still would not be a solution to it.
