8x−3y= −22

y=10+4x

1 answer

To solve the system of equations

  1. \( 8x - 3y = -22 \)
  2. \( y = 10 + 4x \)

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

Substituting \( y \) in the first equation gives:

\[ 8x - 3(10 + 4x) = -22 \]

Now, distribute the \(-3\):

\[ 8x - 30 - 12x = -22 \]

Combine like terms:

\[ -4x - 30 = -22 \]

Next, add 30 to both sides:

\[ -4x = 8 \]

Now, divide both sides by \(-4\):

\[ x = -2 \]

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

\[ y = 10 + 4(-2) \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ y = 10 - 8 = 2 \]

So, the solution to the system of equations is:

\[ (x, y) = (-2, 2) \]
