Question

Solve the system of equations.
y=2x+42
y=8x
x=
y=

Answer 1

To solve the system of equations, we can set the two equations equal to each other:

2x + 42 = 8x

Subtracting 2x from both sides:

42 = 6x

Dividing both sides by 6:

7 = x

Now that we know x = 7, we can substitute this value back into one of the equations to solve for y. Let's use the second equation:

y = 8x
y = 8(7)
y = 56

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 7 and y = 56.
