1.) Solve the system of equations by method of elimination. Show all your work. 2x + 4y = 8
10x – 4y = 16

x=2, y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Add:

2x+4y=8

+10x-4y=16

12x=24

Divide by 12 on both sides:

x=2

Substitute x with 2 on either 2x+4y=8 or 10x-4y=16 it doesn't matter it will result in the same answer.

(I will do both of them to prove it but you only need to replace x with one of the equation)

For 2x+4y=8

2(2)+4y=8

4+4y=8

Subtract 4 on both sides

-4+4+4y=8-4

4y=4

Divide 4 on both sides:

y=1

For 10x-4y=16

10(2)-4y=16

20-4y=16

-20+20-4y=16-20

-4y=-4

Divide -4 on both sides:

y=1

The answer for both 2x + 4y = 8 and 10x – 4y = 16 are the same showing that it doesn't matter which equation you replace the number with it will still result you in the same answer

Hope this helps!

its definatley   this on your answer choice?
