Full solution

Q. Solve using substitution.\newlinex=8x = 8\newline7x8y=167x - 8y = 16\newline(_____, _____)
  1. Substitute xx in equation: Substitute the value of xx into the equation.\newlineWe are given x=8x = 8, so we substitute 88 for xx in the equation 7x8y=167x − 8y = 16.\newline7(8)8y=167(8) − 8y = 16
  2. Perform multiplication: Perform the multiplication to simplify the equation.\newline7×8=567 \times 8 = 56, so the equation becomes:\newline568y=1656 − 8y = 16
  3. Isolate term containing y: Isolate the term containing y.\newlineTo isolate the term 8y-8y, we need to subtract 5656 from both sides of the equation.\newline568y56=165656 - 8y - 56 = 16 - 56\newline8y=40-8y = -40
  4. Solve for y: Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -8").\(\newline\$-8y / -8 = -40 / -8\)\(\newline\)\(y = 5\)
