1) first slove for X ( 7y=15−x) to solve this first subtract 15 from both sides --> 7y-15= -X ---> then multiply by -1 on both sides -----> -7y+15=x ( switch sides) so basically : x=−7y+15 2) Then Substitute x=-7y+15x=−7y+15 into 8x+4y=16 now solve steps below how to solve: Start with the original equation ( 8x+4y=16) Let x= -7y+15 8(−7y+15)+4y=16 ----> simplify ----> −52y+120=16 Now solve for Y ( −52y+120=16) steps: −52y=16−120 ( subtract 120 from both sides) & simplify by 16-120=−104 −52y=−104 now isolate Y divide both sides by -52 ----> y=2 Substitute y=2 into x=-7y+15 x= -7(2)+15 x=1 your final answer : x=1 y=2
