Step one is by expressing one of the equation into one term that is taking one unknown in the form of other. Step two is replacing the unknown into equation 2. Step 3 is replacing the found unknown into one of initial equations to find the other unknown.

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair.y = 2x + 5 x = 1
The first step is to solve one of the equations for one of the variables. This is then substituted into the other equation or equations.
Assuming the simplest case of two equations in two variable: solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Substitute the value found for the variable in all places in which the variable appears in the second equation. Solve the resulting equation. This will give you the value of one of the variables. Finally, replace this value in one of the original equations, and solve, to find the other variable.

Multiply every term in both equations by any number that is not 0 or 1, and has not been posted in our discussion already. Then solve the new system you have created using elimination or substitution method:6x + 9y = -310x - 6y = 58
