Question 483997: "Solve each system by substitution."
y=-4x+16
y=2x+4
I changed y=-4x+16 to -4x+y=16 then I put the bottom equation (y=2x+4) into that so:
-4x+(2x+4)=16 and got x=-6 so I put that into y=2x+4 so y=2(6)+4 and got y=16 but I don't think it's right. (-6,16)

y=-4x+16

2x+4 =-4x+16

2x+4x =16-4

6x =12

x=12/6

x=2

------------

y=2x+4

y=2(2)+4

y=4+4

y=8

So x = 2 and y = 8 giving us the ordered pair (2,8)
