3x-2y=8 x=2y-4 solve for x and y

3x -2y = 8    

 x = 2y - 4  

First, In the second equation subtract 2y on both sides of the equation

By subtracting, you should get

3x - 2y = 8

x    - 2y = -4 now subtract -2y with -2y ( which means subtract 3x with " x " and and 8 with -4 )

By subtracting, you should get

2x = 12 now divide both sides by 2 

By dividing,  you should get

x = 6 which is your answer for " x " 

now plug 6 into one of the equation

6 = 2y - 4 now add 4 on both sides

By adding, you should get

10 = 2y now divide both sides by 2

By dividing you should get

y = 5 which is your answer for " y "

So your answer is x = 6.    Y = 5
