4 x + 8 y = 40 w h e n y = 0.8 : 4 x + 8 ⋅ 0.8 = 40 4 x + 6.4 = 40 ∣ s u b t r a c t 6.4 4 x = 40 − 6.4 4 x = 33.6 ∣ : 4 x = 8.4
now first of all we should plug in 0.8 to y . now we have this simple equation: 4x+8.(0.8)=40 4x+6.4=40 4x=33.6 x=8.4 **(****hope it helps :) ) **
The value of x in the equation 4 x + 8 y = 40 when y = 0.8 is 8.4 . This is found by substituting the value of y , rearranging the equation, and solving for x .
