Since x=-3y+5, substitute x for -3y+5.
2(-3y+5)+8y=4
Distribute.
-6y+10+8y= 4
2y+10= 4
Subtract 10 on both sides.
2y=-6
Divide by 2.
y=-3
Plug in y=-3.
x=-3(-3)+5
x= 9+5
x=14
(14,-3)
We can check this.
2(14)+8(-3)=4
28-24=4
4=4 <== this works
I hope this helps!

Answer:
x = 8
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
9x + -25 = 5x + 7
Reorder the terms:
-25 + 9x = 5x + 7
Reorder the terms:
-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x
Solving
-25 + 9x = 7 + 5x
Solving for variable 'x'.
Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '-5x' to each side of the equation.
-25 + 9x + -5x = 7 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 9x + -5x = 4x
-25 + 4x = 7 + 5x + -5x
Combine like terms: 5x + -5x = 0
-25 + 4x = 7 + 0
-25 + 4x = 7
Add '25' to each side of the equation.
-25 + 25 + 4x = 7 + 25
Combine like terms: -25 + 25 = 0
0 + 4x = 7 + 25
4x = 7 + 25
Combine like terms: 7 + 25 = 32
4x = 32
Divide each side by '4'.
x = 8
Simplifying
x = 8
