Question 857730: Can you help me to solve this equation by using substitution method.
x = 5y + 8
4x + 2y = 10

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
1.x+=+5y+%2B+8
2.4x+%2B+2y+=+10
Use eq. 1 to substitute for x in eq. 2,
4%285y%2B8%29%2B2y=10
20y%2B32%2B2y=10
22y=-22
y=-1
Then
x=5%28-1%29%2B8
x=3
