Q. Solve the system by substitution.8x−3y7x+1=−16=y(□,□)
Substitute Equations: Substitute the second equation into the first equation.The second equation is given as 7x+1=y. We can use this to substitute for y in the first equation, 8x−3y=−16.
Use Substitution: Substitute y with 7x+1 in the first equation.8x−3(7x+1)=−16
Distribute and Combine: Distribute −3 across the terms in the parentheses.8x−21x−3=−16
Isolate x Term: Combine like terms.−13x−3=−16
Solve for x: Add 3 to both sides of the equation to isolate the term with x.−13x=−16+3−13x=−13
Substitute x for y: Divide both sides by −13 to solve for x. x=(−13)/(−13) x=1
Calculate y Value: Substitute x back into the second equation to solve for y.7x+1=y7(1)+1=y
Calculate y Value: Substitute x back into the second equation to solve for y. 7x+1=y7(1)+1=y Calculate the value of y.7+1=yy=8
