)consider the following pair of equations: y = −2x + 8 y = x − 1 explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution. show all the steps and write the solution in (x, y) form.

Hi there,

Take y from first equation and use it / substitute it into the second equation:

-2x + 8 = x - 1, so 3x = 9, therefore x = 3.

Then y = x - 1 = 3 - 1 => y = 2.

Solution is (3,2).

A quick check: 2 = -2*3 + 8, true, and 3 = 2 - 1, also true.

y = 2x

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide each number in the sequence, you'll see that they all have a multiple factor of 2. each number in the series, and any other numbers which may continue, will be multiplied by 2. therefore, y is the next number in the sequence, and x is the current one, so, our formula will be y = 2x.
