How do I solve this system of equations with substituion?
9x+10y=90
2x-8y=16
And can you please explain how to do it? I don't really get it
Thx.

9x+10y=90
2x-8y=16
9*x + 10*y = 90
x - 4*y = 8
x = 8 + 4*y
9*(8 + 4*y) + 10*y = 90
72 + 36*y + 10*y = 90
46*y = 18
y = 9/23
x = 8 + 4*y
x = 8 + 36/23
x = 220/23
2x-8y=16
9*x + 10*y = 90
x - 4*y = 8
x = 8 + 4*y
9*(8 + 4*y) + 10*y = 90
72 + 36*y + 10*y = 90
46*y = 18
y = 9/23
x = 8 + 4*y
x = 8 + 36/23
x = 220/23

You need to make a substitution. So that means you need to take one of the equations, and solve it for x or y, whichever you live. You then take whatever variable you solved for ( x or y) and plug that into the other equation. Then solve
