Question 466828: -x+8=y
y-6=x

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Since both equations are already simplified, all we need to do is substitute one of the equations into the other. I'll plug in the y value, but the problem could be solved either way.
y-6=x
(-x+8)-6=x
-x+8-6=x
Then, we can add x to both sides of the equation.
-x+8-6+x=x+x
8-6=2x
Next, we can subtract the two terms on the left side of the equation.
2=2x
Finally, we can divide both sides by 2.
1=x
We can plug this value into either equation to find the value of y.
-x+8=y
-1+8=y
7=y
So, the solution is (1,7).
