The table can be used to determine the solution to the system of equations, 2y − x = 8, and y − 2x = −5.

which solution can be used to fill in both blanks in the table?

Determine the given
2y - x = 8    ⇒ equation 1
y - 2x = -5   ⇒ equation 2

Get y equivalent from equation 2:
y = 2x - 5    ⇒ equation 3

Substitute y = 2x - 5 to equation 1
2(2x-5) - x = 8

Distribute and Simplify
4x - 10 - x = 8
3x = 10 + 8   ⇒ combine like terms by transposing it to other side
3x = 18
x = 6              ⇒ divide both sides by 3 to get the value of x

Substitute the value of x to equation 3
y = 2(6) - 5 
y = 12 - 5
y = 7 

Answer : x = 6; y = 7

128/3reason being 5 and 1/3 = 16/316/3 • 2/3 = 32/31 and 1/3 = 4/3 32/3 • 4/3 this will equal 128/3
