QUESTION:

Solve the system by addition or substitution.
–8x + 2y = 8
y = 4 + 4x

ANSWER:

Please check your question once again...
This system of equations cant solve using these two methods.
If you chose substitution methis....that will proceed like this...

–8x + 2y = 8------------------------(1)


y = 4 + 4x -------------------------(2)


In (2) we have value of y = 4 + 4x

Substitute this value in (1)

==> –8x + 2(4 + 4x ) = 8


==> -8x + 2 * 4 + 2 * 4x = 8


==> -8x + 8 + 8x = 8


==> -8x + 8x + 8 = 8

==> 0 + 8 = 8
that is you cant find the value of x here.....


If your question is incorrrect...correct it and submit once again.
