Can someone please help me with my hw 20 points?

The first equation; x-2y=8

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We're told that Ty wants to isolate x in one of the equations. To do so in either, he will need to use inverse operations to cancel out values and leave just x remaining on one side of the equation.

In the second equation, he would need to subtract both sides by 6y and then divide both sides by 4 to isolate x. It's a two-step process.

However, in the first equation, he only needs to add 2y to both sides to isolate x.

I hope this helps!
