Question

Use substitution to solve the linear system of equations.

y = x - 2

2x + 4 = y

1. (-6,8)
2. (6,8)
3. (-6,-8)
4 .(6,-8)

Answer 1

Answer:

3.(-6,-8)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=x-2

2x+4=y

x-2=2x+4

x=2x+6

-x=6

x=-6

y=-6-2

y=-8

Answer 2

Step 1: Wherever you see a y in the equation: 2x + 4 = y insert x - 2

2x + 4 = x - 2

Step 2: Combine like terms

x's go with x's. To do this subtract the x from the right side to both sides

(2x - x) + 4 = (x - x) - 2

x + 4 = 0x - 2

x + 4 = -2

Normal numbers go with normal numbers (4 and -2). Bring the 4 to the right side by subtracting it to both sides

x + (4 - 4) = -2 - 4

x + 0 = -6

x = -6

Step 3: To solve y put -6 where you see an x in the equation: y = 2x + 4

y = 2(-6) + 4

y = -12 + 4

y = -8

(-6,-8)
