Answers:
Ok, I know this looks overwhelming. But lets take it a step at a time. For every place that you will see a y in the equation you are going to place 0.8x+0.02 So for the first equation you will have 2x+4(0.8x+0.02)=16 Remember to distribute the 4 throughout the parenthesis. You should be able to solve from here. Last thing, this will give you the value for x. Take the value that you get for x and put it back in the equation and solve for y.
