Solving a System of Two Linear Equations in Two Variables by Substitution

Solve each system by substitution.

1) y = −4 x + 16 2) −3 x + 6 y = −24
−3 x + 8 y = 23 y = 7 x + 22

3) y = 5 x + 5 4) y = 4 x + 22
y=x+5 y = −4 x − 18

5) x − 3 y = −12 6) 2 x − 5 y = 22
4 x + 6 y = −12 x + 5 y = −4

7) y = −4 8) 2 x + 4 y = −10
−3 x − 6 y = 15 7 x + 8 y = −23
