The real way is to subtract the term with the variable on the right first, but both Spencer and Jeremiah are correct. When you do them both, they arrive at the same answer, only that Spencer's would be 2/5, and Jeremiah's would be -2/-5, which is 2/5, because you divide negative by a negative. It doesn't matter which term with the variable you would cancel out first. Either way, you still arrive at the correct answer.
Answer:
x=2, y=1
Step-by-step explanation:
4x+8y=16
4x-8y=0
Add the two equations together:
8x=16
Divide both sides by 8:
x=2
Plug this back into one of the original equations to find y:
4(2)-8y=0
8-8y=0
y=1
