Answer:
Solving equations by substitution is exactly as it says it is, you will simply substitute.
In your example: y=2x+2, y=0
You will plug 0 in for y
Your equation will now look like 0=2x+2, now you are going to solve it like a normal equation, getting x by itself
0=2x+2 (first you want to minus 2 from each side)
-2=2x (now you are going to divide each side by 2)
-1=x
x=-1
Hope this helps ;)

Answer:
For y = 0, x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]\text{Put the value of }\ y=0\ \text{to the given equation}\ y=2x+2:\\\\0=2x+2\qquad\text{subtract}\ 2x\ \text{from both sides}\\\\0-2x=2x-2x+2\\\\-2x=2\qquad\text{divide both sides by (-2)}\\\\\dfrac{-2x}{-2}=\dfrac{2}{-2}\\\\x=-1[/tex]
