Solve, using the substitution method.

2x + 3y = 1

y = x – 8

(4, –4)

(0, –8)

(2, –6)

(5, –3)

Hello there!

The question asks us to solve using the substitution method. The equations given are:

We are given a value for y, which is x-8. Substituting into the first equation of the system of equation gives us:

Use the distributive property to help simplify and solve for x

Combine like terms

Add 24 to both sides

Finally, divide both sides by 5

Now, let's use in the equation to find the value of y

Now, we have the values x=5 and y=-3. Putting these values into an ordered pair gives us the answer (5,-3), which is the last answer choice.

Let me know if you need any clarifications, thanks!
