Solve the linear system by using Substitution. Enter your answer as an ordered pair. y = x + 2
2x + y = 8

{y,x} = {4,2} ) ) ) )4

Step-by-step explanation: y

[2] y = -2x + 8

// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]

[1] (-2x+8) - x = 2

[1] - 3x = -6

// Solve equation [1] for the variable x

[1] 3x = 6

[1] x = 2

// By now we know this much :

y = -2x+8

x = 2

// Use the x value to solve for y

y = -2(2)+8 = 4

Solution :

{y,x} = {4,2}

x = ± 6i

step-by-step explanation:

x^2 = -36

take the square root of each side

sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(-36)

we know sqrt(ab) = sqrt(a) sqrt(b)

x = ±sqrt(36) sqrt(-1)

we know that sqrt (-1) = i

x = ± 6i

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
