Answer:
(- 1, 18 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the equations
y + 8x = 10 ( subtract 8x from both sides )
y = 10 - 8x → (1)
2y - 4x = 40 → (2)
Substitute y = 10 - 8x into (2)
2(10 - 8x) - 4x = 40 ← distribute and simplify left side
20 - 16x - 4x = 40
20 - 20x = 40 ( subtract 20 from both sides )
- 20x = 20 ( divide both sides by - 20 )
x = - 1
Substitute x = - 1 into (1) for corresponding value of y
y = 10 - 8(- 1) = 10 + 8 = 18
solution is (- 1, 18 )
