Y = x + 8
4x – 2y = -12​

x = 14

y = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

y = x + 8

4x - 2y = -12

Solve

Since we see that the first equation has y alone, we can substitute it into the values of y in the second equation.

4x - 2(x + 8) = -12

Distribute :

4x - (2(x) + 2(8)) = -12

4x - 2x +16 = -12

Combine like terms :

2x + 16 = -12

Subtract 16 from both sides :

2x = -28

Divide 2 from both sides to get x alone :

x = 14

Now that we know what x is, substitute it in the first equation to get y :

y = (14) + 8

y = 22
