Hi!
<u>Given these two equations:</u>
We want to solve using the substitution method. Knowing that x is equal to y + 8, we can simply plug in 'y + 8' in for x in the second equation, like so:
Combine like terms on both sides:
Subtract y from both sides:
Subtract 8 from both sides:
Now, we can simply plug the y value in to the first equation, and solve for x:
Simplify:

Answer:
1st, 2nd and 6th options
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
- x +
= 6x ( multiply through by 6 to clear the fractions )
4 - 6x + 1 = 36x ← option 1 will have the same solution set
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Adding the 2 fractions on the left side gives
+
- x = 6x , that is
- x = 6x ← option 2 will have the same solution set
------------------------------------------------------------------------
From
4 - 6x + 1 = 36x ( add 6x to both sides )
5 = 42x ← option 6 will have the same solution set
