Is this substitution? if it is the answer is (4,0)

Raelynn Davis · Answer 2

x = 4, y = 0.

As an ordered pair it is (4, 0).

Step-by-step explanation:

Rewriting the second equation as the same format as the first:

y + x = 4

y - 2x = - 8 Subtract (1) - (2):

0 + 3x = 12

x = 4.

Plug x = 4 into the first equation:

y + 4 = 4

y = 0.

Check in the second equation:

y = 0 = 2 (4) - 8 = 8 - 8 = 0. OK.
