Q. Solve the system by substitution.2x+8yx=28=10y(□,□)
Identify Equation: Identify the equation that can be used for substitution.In the given system of equations, the second equation directly gives the value of x in terms of y. We can use this to substitute into the first equation.
Substitute x: Substitute x=10y into the first equation 2x+8y=28. 2(10y)+8y=2820y+8y=2828y=28
Solve for y: Solve for y.Divide both sides of the equation by 28.2828y=2828y=1
Substitute y: Substitute y=1 into the second equation x=10y to find x.x=10(1)x=10
Write Solution: Write the solution as an ordered pair (x,y). The solution is (10,1).
