fairly straight forward. you recognize x = y + 8, so which you will "substitute" that for the time of for x interior the 2d equation and resolve for y. 5x + 3y = 12 5* (y + 8) + 3y = 12 (5y + 40) + 3y = 12 8y + 40 = 12 8y = -28 y = -28/8 y = -7/2 you may now substitute this value of y decrease back into the unique equation and resolve for x: x = y + 8 x = -7/2 + 8 x = -7/2 + sixteen/2 x = 9/2 So x = 9/2, y = -7/2. completed.

Substitute Y for x in the X+3Y=12 to read
4y=12
divideby 3 and get Y=4
then since x=y, x is also equal to 3

Equations: x = y and x + 3y = 12
First: "x" has been isolated for us in the 1st equation > replace "y" with the "x" variable in the 2nd equation >
y + 3y = 12
Sec: combine "like" terms >
4y = 12
Third: solve for "y" by isolating it on one side > divide both sides by 4 >
4y/4 = 12/4
y = 3
Fourth: replace "3" with the "y" variable in the 1st equation >
x = y
x = 3

x=y solve the equation x+3y=12...
since x and y are equal x+3y=12 can be written as x+3x=12
Therefore:
x+3x=12
(4x=12)/4
x = 3

If x=y and x+3y=12
x+3x=12
Therefore 4x=12
and x=3

x=y
x+3y=12
Thus x+3x=12
4x=12
x=3
Since x=y, if x=3 then y=3
Answer is x=3,y=3
