Are you thinking of using substitution?

savannah_noelle · Answer

Yes the substitution method is fine, but how do I do that for this problem?

anonymous · Answer

You know what y equals, so way not substitute that into the second equation?

Since you know that  $\Large{y=8x-1}$ We can substitue it for the other equation...

$\Large\color{purple}{2x-16(8x-1)=3}$...You then simplify to get x...

anonymous · Answer

$$2x-16(8x-1)=3$$

anonymous · Answer

Then expand

savannah_noelle · Answer

so would it be -126x=48?..

savannah_noelle · Answer

Or is that wrong.
