2x+y=8 y=-x+5

Use the substitute method to solve the system of equation

(3, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the 2 equations

2x + y = 8 → (1)

y = - x + 5 → (2)

Substitute y = - x + 5 into (1)

2x - x + 5 = 8, that is

x + 5 = 8 (subtract 5 from both sides)

x = 3

Substitute x = 3 into (2) for corresponding value of y

y = - 3 + 5 = 2

Solution is (3, 2)
