Solving a System of Two Linear Equations in Two Variables by Substitution

Solve each system by substitution.

1) y = 4 x + 16 2) 3 x + 6 y = 24
3 x + 8 y = 23 y = 7 x + 22

3) y = 5 x + 5 4) y = 4 x + 22
y=x+5 y = 4 x 18

5) x 3 y = 12 6) 2 x 5 y = 22
4 x + 6 y = 12 x + 5 y = 4

7) y = 4 8) 2 x + 4 y = 10
3 x 6 y = 15 7 x + 8 y = 23
