To solve the system of equations using the substitution method for the equations \( y = x^2 - 4x + 8 \) and \( y = 3x - 4 \), we can set the two equations equal to each other since they both equal \( y \).
- Set the equations equal:
\[ x^2 - 4x + 8 = 3x - 4 \]
- Rearranging the equation gives:
\[ x^2 - 4x - 3x + 8 + 4 = 0 \] \[ x^2 - 7x + 12 = 0 \]
- Next, we can factor the quadratic:
\[ (x - 3)(x - 4) = 0 \]
- Setting each factor to zero gives us the values of \( x \):
\[ x - 3 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 3 \] \[ x - 4 = 0 \quad \Rightarrow \quad x = 4 \]
- Now we substitute back to find \( y \) for both values of \( x \):
For \( x = 3 \):
\[ y = 3(3) - 4 = 9 - 4 = 5 \]
So, one solution is \( (3, 5) \).
For \( x = 4 \):
\[ y = 3(4) - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8 \]
So, another solution is \( (4, 8) \).
Thus, the solutions to the system of equations are \( (3, 5) \) and \( (4, 8) \).
The correct response is: \((4,8)\) and \((3,5)\).
