The following will the solve system of equations by substitution

Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++0%5Cx+%2B+1%5Cy+=+2%2C%0D%0A++++4%5Cx+%2B+-2%5Cy+=+8+%29%0D%0A++The first equation is an easy equation for y: y+=+2%2F1.
Knowing y, we can substitute it into the second equation: 4%2Ax%2B-2%2A2%2F1+=+8. From here, x=%288--2%2A2%2F1%29%2F4Your answer: system%28+x=3%2C+y=2+%29+.



The solution is x=3 and y=2 or the point (3,2)

I hope the above steps were helpful.
