Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
-x + 2y = 8
-2x + y = -5
2x - 4y = -16
-2x + y = -5
-3y = -21
y = 7
-x + 14 = 8
-x = -6
x = 6

Answer:
Answer below!
Step-by-step explanation:
since y = -3x + 1, you can just plug those numbers in on the first equation.
6x + 2(-3x+1) = 2 (see how I replaced y into -3x + 1)
then distribute 2.
6x - 6x + 2 = 2, subtract 2 to both sides
6x - 6x = 0, combine x
0 = 0 (this means it has an infinite amount of solutions)
