solve the system of equations:

y = 8x
y = 2x + 48

1 answer

To solve this system of equations, we can set the two equations equal to each other:

8x = 2x + 48

Now, we can solve for x:

8x - 2x = 48
6x = 48
x = 48 / 6
x = 8

Now that we have found the value of x, we can substitute it back into one of the equations to find the value of y. Using the first equation:

y = 8(8)
y = 64

Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x = 8 and y = 64.
