Hey there!

2x + 8y = 20

2x + 8(2) = 20

2x + 16 = 20

SUBTRACT 16 to BOTH SIDES

2x + 16 - 16 = 20 - 16

CANCEL out: 16 - 16 because it give you 0

KEEP: 20 - 16 because it help solve for the x-value

NEW EQUATION: 2x = 20 - 16

SIMPLIFY IT!

2x = 4

DIVIDE 2 to BOTH SIDES

2x/2 = 4/2

CANCEL out: 2/2 because it give you 1

KEEP: 4/2 because it give you the x-value

NEW EQUATION: x = 4/2

SIMPLIFY IT!

x = 2

Therefore, your answer is: x = 2

Good luck on your assignment and enjoy your day!
