(−2, 4)

Answer 1

To solve the system of equations using substitution, we have the following equations:

1. \( y = 2 + 3x \)
2. \( 4x - 3y = -16 \)

We can substitute the expression for \( y \) from the first equation into the second equation.

Substituting \( y \):

\[
4x - 3(2 + 3x) = -16
\]

Now, simplify the equation:

\[
4x - 6 - 9x = -16
\]

Combine like terms:

\[
-5x - 6 = -16
\]

Add 6 to both sides:

\[
-5x = -16 + 6
\]

\[
-5x = -10
\]

Now, divide by -5:

\[
x = 2
\]

Now that we have \( x \), we can substitute it back into the first equation to find \( y \):

\[
y = 2 + 3(2) = 2 + 6 = 8
\]

So the solution to the system of equations is \( (2, 8) \).

Therefore, the correct response is:

**(2, 8)**
