Question

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the

Answer 1

Answer:

(2, 22 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

y = 7x + 8 → (1)

y = x + 20 → (2)

Substitute y = 7x + 8 into (2)

7x + 8 = x + 20 ( subtract x from both sides )

6x + 8 = 20 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

6x = 12 ( divide both sides by 6 )

x = 2

Substitute x = 2 in (2) for corresponding value of y

y = x + 20 = 2 + 20 = 22

Solution is (2, 22 )
