    In this case, since one equation is in the form of x=, substitution would be best for this problem. Simply plug in 4y + 8 in place of x in the second equation, solve for y, then plug that value into the first equation to find x.

    X=4y+8

    2x-8y=-3

    lets use the substitution method

    2x-8y=-3

    2 (4y+8) - 8y=-3

    8y+16-8y=-3

    16 is not equal to - 3 so lets try elimination

    x=4y+8

    2x-8y=-3

    xhange the 1st equation to standard for

    x-4y=8

    2x-8y=-3

    multiply the 1st equation to remove x

    2x-8y=8

    2x-8y=-3

    0 is not equal to 11

    therefore we cannot solve using both equations so te question's answer is undefined
