    x=1/4

    y = - 2

    (1/4, - 2)

    b

    Step-by-step explanation:

    4x - y = 3

    y = -8x

    substitute y = -8x into the first equation. Everywhere you see y put 8x

    4x - y = 3

    4x - (-8x) = 3

    4x+8x=3

    combine like terms

    12x = 3

    divide by 12

    12x/12x = 3 / 12

    x = 1/4

    now we need to find y

    y = - 8x

    y = - 8 * 1/4

    y = - 2
