Use the substitution method to solve the problem x = y - 4x + 8 y = 2
First, we substitute the value of y into the first equation:
x = 2 - 4x + 8
Next, we simplify the equation:
x = -4x + 10
Now, we solve for x by adding 4x to both sides:
5x = 10
x = 2
Now that we have found the value of x, we can substitute it back into the second equation to find y:
y = 2
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 2, y = 2.
