First step I will subtract 3y from both sides of the equation. x = 8-3y 2x-y= 2 Solve the first equation x = 8 - 3y 2(8-3y)-y=2 Solve the second equation solve for y x = 8-3y y = 2 Replace y with 2 x = 8 - 3 * 2 y=2 Simplify x = 8 - 3 * 2 x=2 y=2 (2,2)
x + 3y = 8 2x - y = 2 was the question I solved by substitution
Solve the first equation x = 8 - 3y 2(8-3y)-y=2 Solve the second equation solve for y x = 8-3y y = 2 this part
2(8-3y)-y=2 in this part my teacher asked what did I do with the 2
and I couldn't answer because I didn't know what I did with the 2

Okay your work is a bit confusing, you have 2 different equations and describing steps for 1 but not sure which
this is a system of equations
This is the question | | V x + 3y = 8 2x - y = 2
First step I will subtract 3y from both sides of the equation. x = 8-3y 2x-y= 2
first step ^
Second and Third step Solve the first equation x = 8 - 3y 2(8-3y)-y=2 Solve the second equation solve for y x = 8-3y y = 2
I don't understand this part it says solve the first equation but we solve 2x-y= 2
@dude
Yes I know what systems of equations are. Don't write the second equation if you aren't doing anything to it
lol
I figured out what I did wrong

Second and Third step
Solve the first equation No, this doesn't imply anything, say substitute
x = 8 - 3y
2(8-3y)-y=2
Solve the second equation solve for y Once you substitute, there is only 1 equation. Not 2.
x = 8-3y
y = 2
