SOLVING SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS BY SUBSTITUTION
#1. SOLVE one equation for the easiest variable a. Isolated variable b. Leading Coefficient of One #2. SUBSTITUTE equation from #1 into second equation and solve for the other variable #3. SUBSTITUTE value from #2 into revised equation from #1 and solve STEPS
#1. Solve the system of equations using substitution y = x + 1 3x + y = 9 EXAMPLES
#2. Solve the system of equations using substitution 6x + 3y = 12 3x + y = 5 EXAMPLES
#3. Solve the system of equations using substitution 2x + y = 4 3x - 5y = 6 EXAMPLES
#4. Solve the system of equations using substitution 2x - y = 6 -3x + 2y = -8 EXAMPLES
