Question

Find a solution to the linear equation - 2x – 2y = 8 by filling in the boxes with a valid value of x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

$-2(-4)-2(0)=8$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$2x - 2y = 8$

Required

Gaps: -2( )-2( )=8

Fill in in the gaps

The are numerous solutions to this.

One of them is:

Assume y = 0.

So, we have:

$-2x - 2*0 = 8$

$-2x - 0 = 8$

$-2x = 8$

Divide through by -2

$\frac{-2x}{-2}= \frac{8}{-2}$

$x= -4$

Fill in the gaps with these values of x and y respectively:

Hence; one solution is: $-2(-4)-2(0)=8$
