Question

Solve the system of equations (you can use any method but I recommend substitution):

y=8x-2
3x+y=42

Answer 1

Heres the solution! Hope it helps!

Answer 2

X=4,y=30

Explanation:

given,

y=8x-2 ....(i)

3x+y=42...(ii)

now,

putting value of y in equation ii

we get,

3x+y=42

3x+(8x-2)=42

or,3x+8x=42+2

or,11x=44

or,X=4

again,

putting value of X in equation i

y=8x-2

=8×4-2

=30
