Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1: Define Systems
y = x - 16
5y = 2x - 56
Step 2: Solve for x
Substitute in y: 5(x - 16) = 2x - 56Distribute 5: 5x - 80 = 2x - 56[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 2x on both sides: 3x - 80 = -56[Addition Property of Equality] Add 80 on both sides: 3x = 24[Division Property of Equality] Divide 3 on both sides: x = 8
Step 3: Solve for y
Define original equation: y = x - 16Substitute in x: y = 8 - 16Subtract: y = -8
