To solve for \( y \) in both equations, we can substitute values of \( x \) into each equation and add the results together.
The equations are:
- \( y = 86x + 2 \)
- \( y = 50x + 6 \)
To find the sum of \( y \) for specific values of \( x \), you can choose a value for \( x \) and calculate \( y \) for both equations. Let’s compute the value of \( y \) when \( x = 0 \) for simplicity.
- For \( x = 0 \):
- From the first equation: \[ y = 86(0) + 2 = 2 \]
- From the second equation: \[ y = 50(0) + 6 = 6 \]
Now, add the two results together: \[ y = 2 + 6 = 8 \]
Thus, when \( x = 0 \), the sum of \( y \) from both equations is \( 8 \).
If you want to compute \( y \) for different values of \( x \), just plug in the desired value of \( x \) into both equations, calculate \( y \) for each, and sum those results accordingly.
