Question

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the correct ordered pair.

4(x - 2) = 8(y - 1)
16y - 32 = 2x + 4

A. (6,3)
B.(18,6)
C.(6,18)
D.(3,6)
E.(6,1/2)

Some please help ASAP please

Answer 1

Well first lets simplify that top equation

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

so our 2 equations are

8y - 8 = 4x - 8
16y - 32 = 2x + 4

For the substitution method...we should solve one of these equations for 1 variable...lets choose to solve the 2nd one and we'll solve for x first

16y - 32 = 2x + 4

how would we solve this for 'x'?

Answer 2

do you need help ?

Answer 3

first you need to get the 2x on one side and everything else on the other side.
Can you do that ?
