Can you help me solve this equation by substitution?

8x+2y=6
4x=3-y or 4x+y=3

Solved by pluggable solver: SOLVE linear system by SUBSTITUTION
Solve:
+system%28+%0D%0A++++8%5Cx+%2B+2%5Cy+=+6%2C%0D%0A++++4%5Cx+%2B+1%5Cy+=+3+%29%0D%0A++We'll use substitution. After moving 2*y to the right, we get:
8%2Ax+=+6+-+2%2Ay, or x+=+6%2F8+-+2%2Ay%2F8. Substitute that
into another equation:
4%2A%286%2F8+-+2%2Ay%2F8%29+%2B+1%5Cy+=+3 and simplify: So, we know that y=0=0. Since x+=+6%2F8+-+2%2Ay%2F8, x=0.75.

Answer: system%28+x=0.75%2C+y=0=0+%29.
