Consider the following pair of equations: y = x + 4
y = −2x − 2
Explain how you will solve the pair of equations by substitution. Show all the steps and write the solution in (x, y) form. There is no pic pls help xd

x is equal to -2, and y is equal to 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can solve this type of question by solving one of the equations for a given variable, and substituting it into another.

Because both of these are definitions of y, we could simply say, y = y, and thus:

x + 4 = -2x - 2

3x = -6

x = -2

This tells us also that y, being equal to x + 4, must equal 2

We can find the same solution by solving one of them for x, then substituting that into the other.  We know:

y = x + 4

so we can also say:

x = y - 4

If we substitute that into the other:

y = -2x - 2

y = -2(y - 4) - 2

y = -2y + 8 -2

3y = 6

y = 2

which we can then plug into either of the original equations to solve for x:

y = x + 4

2 = x + 4

x = -2

the answer is 24
