Answer:
y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
8x - 2y = 18
3x - y = 5
the above system of equations can be solved by multiplying the second equation by -2 so the 'y-terms' get eliminated
you can then substitute the value of 'x' into the equation to find the value of 'y'
8x - 2y = 18
+ -6x + 2y = -10
2x = 8
x = 4
3(4) - y = 5
12 - y = 5
-y = -7
divide each side by -1 to get: y = 7
