Question 379973
 y=5x-8
5y=2x+6
i dont understand how to substitute.. i think its solve for y.. then substitute it in the second equation.... right?
------------------
RIGHT.
Since y = 5x-8, substitute for y in the 2nd equation
and solve for "x":
---
5(5x-8) = 2x+6
25x-40 = 2x+6
23x = 46
x = 2
----
Since y = 5x-8, y = 5*2-8 = 2
