Full solution

Q. Solve the system by substitution.\newliney=8xy=2x12 \begin{array}{l} y=8 x \\ y=2 x-12 \end{array} \newline(,) (\square, \square)
  1. Substitute Equations: Substitute the first equation y=8xy = 8x into the second equation y=2x12y = 2x - 12.y=8xy = 8xy=2x12y = 2x - 128x=2x128x = 2x - 12
  2. Isolate x: Isolate x by subtracting 2x2x from both sides of the equation.\newline8x2x=2x2x128x - 2x = 2x - 2x - 12\newline6x=126x = -12
  3. Divide by 66: Divide both sides of the equation by 66 to solve for xx.6x6=126\frac{6x}{6} = \frac{-12}{6}x=2x = -2
  4. Substitute xx into yy: Substitute x=2x = -2 into the first equation y=8xy = 8x to solve for yy.
    y=8(2)y = 8(-2)
    y=16y = -16
