\

The system of equations are $\"\"$ .

\

$\"\"$ Equation (1)

\

$\"\"$ Equation (2)

\

Since $\"\"$ , substitute $\"\"$ for x in the first equation.

\

$\"\"$

\

Apply subtraction property of equality: Subtract 2x from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

Rearrange the terms using distributive property of addition: a + b = b + a. \ \

\

$\"\"$

\

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract 8 from each side)

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

Apply division property of equality: Divide each side by negative 6.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Cancel common terms) \ \

\

$\"\"$

\

Apply subtractionn property of equality: Subtract 2 from each side.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Apply commutative property of addition: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive inverse property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Apply additive identity property: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Subtract: $\"\"$ )

\

$\"\"$ (Multiply each side by negative one)

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive) $\"\"$

\

Now, find the x value by substituting $\"\"$ in Equation 2.

\

$\"\"$

\

$\"\"$ (Product of two same signs is positive)

\

$\"\"$ (Add: $\"\"$ ) $\"\"$

\

The solution is $\"\"$ .
