Solve using the substitution method
4x-2y=8
y=1/2x +2

Hello there! the answer would be x = 3/4.

You are given the two equations: 4x - 2y = 8 and y = 1/2x + 2. You are asked to solve via substitution. To do this, substitute the value of y in the second given equation into the first given equation, and solve using PEMDAS.

4x - 2(1/2x + 2) = 8 - Start by distributing 2 into (1/2x + 2).

4x - 1x + 4 = 8 - Combine like terms.

3x + 4 = 8 - Subtract 4 from both sides.

3x = 4 - divide both sides by 3.

x = 3/4. This is your final answer.

I hope this was helpful, have a great day! :)
