Question

Y = 6x + 8

y =14× + 4
pretty please and PLEASE step by step.
methods either substitution, elimination, or equal values

Answer 1

Explanation:

1. Put the equations in order:

-14x+y=4(1)

-6x+y=8(2)

2. Eliminate a variable.

In this case, we want to eliminate y, so subtract the second equation from the first

(1)-(2) -8x=-4

x=-4/8

x=1/2

3. Now that we have one variable, we can use it to solve for y:

6(1/2) + 8=y

3+8=y

y=11

(1/2,11) is the answer.

Another way to do this is to set the first equation equal to the second equation:

6x+8=14x+4

8x=4

x=1/2

y=11

(1/2,11) is the answer!

We used elimination and equal values!
