To solve the system of equations using substitution, we have the following equations:
- \( y = 2 + 3x \)
- \( 4x - 3y = -16 \)
We can substitute the expression for \( y \) from the first equation into the second equation.
Step 1: Substitute for \( y \)
Substituting \( y \) in the second equation:
\[ 4x - 3(2 + 3x) = -16 \]
Step 2: Distribute the \(-3\)
\[ 4x - 6 - 9x = -16 \]
Step 3: Combine like terms
\[ -5x - 6 = -16 \]
Step 4: Add 6 to both sides
\[ -5x = -10 \]
Step 5: Divide by -5
\[ x = 2 \]
Step 6: Substitute \( x \) back into the first equation to find \( y \)
Now we substitute \( x = 2 \) back into the first equation:
\[ y = 2 + 3(2) \]
\[ y = 2 + 6 = 8 \]
Step 7: Write the solution as an ordered pair
The solution to the system of equations is:
\[ (x, y) = (2, 8) \]
So the answer is \( (2, 8) \).
