x+2(x+3) = 12
x+2x+6 = 12
x+2x = 12-6
3x = 6
x = 2 and y = 5
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 show the equations which have not been shown.
Simultaneous equations can be solved using the elimination method.
When you have a system of equations and you can solve for one in terms of th others and then replace it in the other equations that is substitution. x+y=15 x-y=1 well the second one can be x=1+y x+y=15 then can be (1+y)+y=15 by substitution. 1+2y=15 2y=14 y=7 Then x+7=15 x=8
Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair.y = 2x + 5 x = 1

how do you use the substitution method for this problem 2x-3y=-2 4x+y=24
There is no simple answer. Sometimes, the nature of one of the equations lends itself to the substitution method but at other times, elimination is better. If they are non-linear equations, and there is an easy substitution then that is the best approach. With linear equations, using the inverse matrix is the fastest method.
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).
2x+7y=29 x=37-8y
To solve this system of equations, we can use the method of substitution or elimination. Let's use the substitution method. From the second equation, we can express y as y = 55 - 4x. Substitute this expression for y in the first equation: 7x - 5(55 - 4x) = 76. Simplify this equation to solve for x. Then, substitute the value of x back into one of the original equations to find the value of y.
True. To solve a three variable system of equations you can use a combination of the elimination and substitution methods.
the answer
When talking about a "system of equations", you would normally expect to have two or more equations. It is quite common to have as many equations as you have variables, so in this case you should have two equations.
The first step is to show the equations which have not been shown.
