(a). 8x + y = 20, where (b). y = x2 - 2x + 4
So where y is in equation (a), substitute in the value of y in (b).
8x + (x2 - 2x + 4) = 20
8x + (4) = 20
Get rid of the 4 on both sides (since what you do to one side, you must do to the other)
8x + 4 - 4 = 20 - 4
8x = 16
Get rid of the 8 to leave x on its own
8x ÷ 8 = 16 ÷ 8
x = 2
So now that you have x, find y but substituting in the value you just found (2) into one of the starting equations.
8x + y = 20 where x is 2.
8(2) + y = 20
16 + y = 20
Minus 16 from both sides
y = 20 - 16 = 4
So x is 2 and y is 4

Answer:
2) -3x+10
4) -4x+10+x
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the distributive property to get rid of the parentheses.
(2 × -2x) + (2 × 5) + x
-4x + 10 +x is correct, but the x's can be combined.
(-4x + x) + 10 = -3x + 10
We have been given the expression
We can rewrite the expression as 
In order to simplify the given expression, we can check if we have any common terms in the numerator and denominator.
We can write the term 72 which is in the numerator as 
Thus, the expression becomes
We can see that 4 is common in both numerator and denominator. Hence, we can cancel 4. Thus, we are left with
Therefore, we can rewrite the given expression as 54.
