To solve the system of equations using substitution, we can start by substituting the first equation into the second equation:
y = 2 + 3x
4x - 3(2 + 3x) = -16
4x - 6 - 9x = -16
-5x - 6 = -16
-5x = -10
x = 2
Now that we have found x = 2, we can substitute this value back into the first equation to find y:
y = 2 + 3(2)
y = 2 + 6
y = 8
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is (2, 8). So the correct response is:
(2, 8) left parenthesis 2 comma 8 right parenthesis
