2x + 4y = 12 y = x - 3 What is the solution to the system of equations? (-1, 8) (8, - 1) 5 1/2 1/2 5

The solution is (8, - 1).

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4y = 12 ... (1)

y = 1/4x - 3 ... (2)

Substitute y = x - 3 in equation (1):

2x + 4 (1/4x - 3) = 12

2x + x - 12 = 12

3x = 24

x = 8.

Now substitute for x in equation (2):

y = 1/4 * 8 - 3

y = - 1.
