Use substitution to solve the following system of equations. 4x – 13y = -12 AND X = 2y - 8 ​

y=5/4=0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

(4×2y−8)−13y=−12

Multiply 4 and 2 to get 8.

8y−8−13y=−12

Combine 8y and −13y to get −5y.

−5y−8=−12

Add 8 to both sides.

−5y=−12+8

Add −12 and 8 to get −4.

−5y=−4

Divide both sides by −5.

y=−5−4

Fraction −5/−4 can be simplified to 5/4 by removing the negative sign from both the numerator and the denominator.

y=5/4

for finding the midpoint of any given 2 pair of points simply add the respective x coordinates with other x coordinate and the y coordinate with other y coordinate and divide them by 2

in your question it will be :

(3+1)/2 for the x coordinate of mid point i.e 2

[8+(-4)]/2 for the y coordinate of midpoint i.e 2

so coordinates of mid point of points (3,8) and (1,-4) will be (2,2)
