Use the substitution method to solve the following pairs of simultaneous equations.
a. x = 8-3y, 2x + 5y = 13,
x= , y=

Step-by-step explanation:

2x+5y = 13

2(8-3y)+5y =13

16-6y+5y = 13

y=3

x =8-3y = -1

part 1 answer = 8

part 2 answer = 72

step-by-step explanation:

part 1 explanation = add all of the numbers, then divide by how many numbers you have. so, 200/25 = 8.

part 2 explanation = not gonna lie, this is hard to explain, so just google how to do it.

the equation for this situation is y=122+45. to solve the equation you would add 45 and 122 to get a total of 167lbs. in conclusion, grace's weight eight weeks ago was 167lbs.
