Substitute and Simplify: Given the equation 4x−4y=−8, substitute x=−1 into the equation and then simplify.Substitute −1 for x in 4x−4y=−8.4(−1)−4y=−8−4−4y=−8
Isolate Variable Term: Isolate the variable term to solve for y.−4−4y=−8 Add 4 to both sides of the equation.−4+4−4y=−8+4−4y=−4
Solve for y: Solve for y.Divide both sides by −4 to isolate y.−4y/−4=−4/−4y=1
Write Solution as Ordered Pair: We have found:x=−1y=1Now, we can write the solution as an ordered pair.The solution is (−1,1).
