For the following system, if you isolated y in the first equation to use the Substitution Method, what expression would you substitute into the second equation?
2x + y = 8
-x - y = -5
8 - 2x
8 + 2x
-8 - 2x
-8 + 2x
EDIT:
this is my second time asking, so please?
2x + y = 8
-x - y = -5
8 - 2x
8 + 2x
-8 - 2x
-8 + 2x
EDIT:
this is my second time asking, so please?

If you isolated y in the first equation you would end up getting:
y=8-2x
Basically subtract the 2x on both sides and you get y.
I'm guessing what you listed after the first two equations are choices. So A is my answer.
y=8-2x
Basically subtract the 2x on both sides and you get y.

8-2x
When you solve for "Y" it equals 8-2x so because we know both y's are the same thing you can plug that in and find X
