Full solution

Q. Solve.\newlinex8y=2x - 8y = -2\newlinex+8y=14x + 8y = 14\newline(_____, _____)
  1. Add Equations to Eliminate y: Step 11: Add the two equations to eliminate y.\newlinex8y=2x - 8y = -2\newlinex+8y=14x + 8y = 14\newline(Add the equations)\newlinex8y+x+8y=2+14x - 8y + x + 8y = -2 + 14\newline2x=122x = 12
  2. Solve for x: Step 22: Solve for x.\newline2x=122x = 12\newlinex=122x = \frac{12}{2}\newlinex=6x = 6
  3. Substitute xx into First Equation: Step 33: Substitute x=6x = 6 into the first equation to solve for yy.
    x8y=2x - 8y = -2
    68y=26 - 8y = -2
    8y=26-8y = -2 - 6
    8y=8-8y = -8
    y=8/8y = -8 / -8
    y=1y = 1
