Hello there!
The question asks us to solve using the substitution method. The equations given are:
We are given a value for y, which is x-8. Substituting into the first equation of the system of equation gives us:
Use the distributive property to help simplify and solve for x
Combine like terms
Add 24 to both sides
Finally, divide both sides by 5
Now, let's use in the equation
to find the value of y
Now, we have the values x=5 and y=-3. Putting these values into an ordered pair gives us the answer (5,-3), which is the last answer choice.
Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
