Solve each system of eaquasions x+4y=4 -x+2y=8​

X + 4y = 4
-x + 2y = 8

x + 4y - x + 2y = 4 + 8

6y = 12

y = 2

x + 4(2) = 4
x + 8 = 4
x = -4

(x,y)
(-4,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

x + 4y = 4

-x + 2y = 8

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

x + 4y = 4

[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 4y on both sides:                    x = 4 - 4y

Step 3: Redefine Systems

x = 4 - 4y

-x + 2y = 8

Step 4: Solve for y

Substitution

Substitute in x:                                                                                                 -(4 - 4y) + 2y = 8[Distributive Property] Distribute negative:                                                   -4 + 4y + 2y = 8Combine like terms:                                                                                        -4 + 6y = 8[Addition Property of Equality] Add 4 on both sides:                                    6y = 12[Division Property of Equality] Divide 6 on both sides:                                y = 2

Step 5: Solve for x

Define original equation:                                                                                x + 4y = 4Substitute in y:                                                                                                 x + 4(2) = 4Multiply:                                                                                                            x + 8 = 4[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 8 on both sides:                       x = -4
