X=2y-4, 5x-6y=-8 I need to solve this using the substitution method

x = 2

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 2y - 4

5x - 6y = - 8

Substitute for x.

5 (2y - 4) - 6y = - 8

10y - 20 - 6y = - 8

4y - 20 = - 8

4y = - 8 + 20

4y = 12

y = 12 : 4

y = 3

x = 2y - 4

x = 2 (3) - 4

x = 6 - 4

x = 2
