Question

y=3x-24
5x-y=8
Walk me through?

Answer 1

if you would like to use the substitution method
you first isolate the y in the second equation
then y=y so would then substitute what the ys equals (the parts with the x in them)
then you solve for x
and once you've got that, you can plug the x you got back into one of the original equations

Answer 2

How do that ?

Answer 3

to isolate the y in the second equation of
5x - y = 8 you minus y on both sides to get
5x = 8 + y then you minus 8 on both sides to get
y = 5x - 8
then y = y
so 3x - 24 = 5x - 8

Answer 4

thank you so much
