Solve the system of equations using the substitution method. 2x+8y=4 x=−3y+5
goldenfox [79]
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!

9. Solve for x,<br>9x - 25<br>5x + 7<br>N​
kati45 [8]

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
