Use substitution to solve each system of equations. If the system does NOT have exactly one solution, state whether it has NO solutions, or INFINITELY MANY solutions.
1.)
y=7-x
2x-y=8
------
Substitute for "y" and solve for "x":
---
2x -(7-x) = 8
2x + x -7 = 8
3x = 15
x = 5
-----
Solve for "y":
y = 7-x
y = 7-5
y = 2
----------
Solution: (5,2)
