    The solution set we get is (x, y) { (6/4, 6) } ...

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We have the system of equation:

    y = 4x equation 1

    8x + y = 18 equation 2

    As we see that the first equation has a value of y. Now plug the value of y which is 4x in 2nd equation:

    8x+y=18

    8x + (4x) = 18

    12x=18

    Divide both sides by 12.

    12x/12 = 18/12

    x = 18/12

    x = 6/4

    Now plug the value x = 6/4 in equation 1.

    y=4x

    y=4 (6/4)

    4 will be cancelled out by 4

    y = 6

    The solution set we get is (x, y) { (6/4, 6) } ...
