During a phone call about the system of equations {5x + 2y = 8 , 8x + 4y = 8}, Dylan told Max, “It’s easy, just set them equal to each other.” But Max replied, “That doesn’t help — I get −2y = 3x. What good is that?” Help these two students solve the problem.

Answer:

x = 4

y = -6

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 2y = 8

8x + 4y = 8

-2(5x + 2y) = -2(8)

8x + 4y = 8

-10x -4y = -16

8x + 4y = 8

-10x -4y + 8x + 4y = -16 + 8

-2x = -8

x = 4

plug 4 into x so y = -6
