Solve the system of equations using substitution.

y = 2x - 10

y = 4x - 8

(-1, - 12)

(-4,-17)

(3,4)

(3,-4)

x = - 1, y = - 12

Step-by-step explanation using substitution:

Solve the following system:

{y = 2 x - 10

y = 4 x - 8

Hint: | Perform a substitution.

Substitute y = 2 x - 10 into the second equation:

{y = 2 x - 10

2 x - 10 = 4 x - 8

Hint: | Choose an equation and a variable to solve for.

In the second equation, look to solve for x:

{y = 2 x - 10

2 x - 10 = 4 x - 8

Hint: | Isolate x to the left hand side.

Subtract 4 x - 10 from both sides:

{y = 2 x - 10

-2 x = 2

Hint: | Solve for x.

Divide both sides by - 2:

{y = 2 x - 10

x = - 1

Hint: | Perform a back substitution.

Substitute x = - 1 into the first equation:

{y = - 12

x = - 1
