Answer: x = 2, y = 0 or (2 , 0)
Step-by-step explanation:
Solving using substitution is where you solve for a variable in one of the two equations in the system then plug it into the other.
For an easier plug in we can take the second equation. 4x-y = 8.
From here we need to isolate the y variable which is easier to isolate than x, in my opinion.
Subtract the 4x over.
-y = 8-4x
Now divide by a -1 so y is positive.
y= -8 + 4x
Now plug this in for y in the other equation.
5x + 4(-8 + 4x) = 10
Distribute the 4.
5x - 32 + 16x = 10
Combine like terms
21x - 32 = 10
Add the 32.
21x = 42
Divide by 21.
x = 2
Now that we have solved for one variable we can plug this into either equation and solve for the other.
I will plug it into the second equation.
4(2) - y = 8
Simplify.
8 - y = 8
Subtract 8.
-y = 0
Divide by -1.
y = 0
So the x and y values are.
x = 2
y = 0
