Answer:
(- 2, - 10 )
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the 2 equations
y = x - 8 → (1)
y = 5x → (2)
Substitute y = 5x into (1)
5x = x - 8 ( subtract x from both sides )
4x = - 8 ( divide both sides by 4 )
x = - 2
Substitute x = - 2 into either of the 2 equations for y
Substituting into (1)
y = - 2 - 8 = - 10
solution is (- 2, - 10 )
