The solution to the system of equations x-9y=65 and 6y-8x=8 is (-7,-8).
The easiest way to do substitution is to find the variable that can be isolated the easiest, that is, get either x or y alone. The easiest variable to get alone is the x in the first equation. All you need to do is add 9y to each side. Working through the substitution:
The system of equations:
x-9y=65
6y-8x=8
Step 1: Get a variable alone
x-9y=65
x-9y+9y=65+9y
x=9y+65
Step 2: Substitute into the other equation
6y-8x=8
6y-8(9y+65)=8 → Expand
6y-72y-520=8 → Combine like terms
-66y-520=8 → Add 520 to both sides
-66y=8+520 → Simplify
-66y=528 → Divide by -66 to find y
y=-8
Step 3: Substitute y=-8 into the first equation
x=9y+65
x=9(-8)+65
x=-72+65
x=-7
The solution to the system of equations x-9y=65 and 6y-8x=8 is (-7,-8).
Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair.y = 2x + 5 x = 1

You can solve lineaar quadratic systems by either the elimination or the substitution methods. You can also solve them using the comparison method. Which method works best depends on which method the person solving them is comfortable with.
x+2(x+3) = 12 x+2x+6 = 12 x+2x = 12-6 3x = 6 x = 2 and y = 5
You solve this by theoretically diverting the hypotenuse of the x divided by the overall beneficial procedure of y

isolate
by elimination,substitution or through the matrix method.
2x + 2y = 44x + y = 1There are many methods you can use to solve this system of equations (graphing, elimination, substitution, matrices)...but no matter what method you use, you should get x = -1/3 and y = 7/3.

2x+7y=29 x=37-8y
Substitution is a way to solve without graphing, and sometimes there are equations that are impossible or very difficult to graph that are easier to just substitute. Mostly though, it is a way to solve if you have no calculator or cannot use one (for a test or worksheet).
You'd need another equation to sub in
elimination, substitution and graphing
That's exactly the purpose of the substitution method ... to get an equation with one less variable. When you have it, you solve it for the variable that's left.
