Answer:
(a) (5, -3)
Step-by-step explanation:
The "substitution method" for solving a system of equations requires that you write an expression that can be substituted for a variable in one or more of the other equations in the system.
<h3>Expression to substitute</h3>The given equations are ...
- y = x -8
- 2x +3y = 1
We notice the first equation gives an expression for y. This is exactly what we want to substitute for y in the second equation.
<h3>Substitution</h3>When the expression (x-8) is substituted for y in the second equation, you get ...
2x +3(x -8) = 1
This simplifies to ...
5x -24 = 1
<h3>Solution</h3>This 2-step equation can now be solved in the usual way:
5x = 25 . . . . . . add 24 to isolate the variable term
x = 25/5 = 5 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of x
Note that we now know what the correct answer choice is.
Using the expression for y, we find ...
y = x -8 = 5 -8 = -3
The solution is (x, y) = (5, -3).

The attached graph confirms this solution.
Answer:
There is a horizontal shift.
Step-by-step explanation:
Replacing x in a function formula with x - 8 moves the graph 8 units to the <u>right</u>.
In the attached image, y = sin(x) is light green, y = sin(x - 8) is dark green, and the arrows show how points on sin(x) get moved 8 units to the right.
