For the following system, if you isolated x in the first equation to use the Substitution Method, what expression would you substitute into the second equation?

-x + 2y = -6
3x + y = 8

-2y + 6
2y - 6
2y + 6
-2y - 6

Okay so basically the first thing you really want to do is to isolate x in the first equation.
So the first equation is " -x + 2y = -6"
You want to end up with "x = ...." . That's  what it means by isolating x. It just means to make "x" the subject.
