Add the two equations together. The x disappears. 2y - x = 3 + x = 3y - 5 ------------------------ 2y = 3y -2 Can you finish it from there?

the answer
You'd need another equation to sub in
elimination, substitution and graphing
True. To solve a three variable system of equations you can use a combination of the elimination and substitution methods.
Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Enter your answer as an ordered pair.y = 2x + 5 x = 1
x+y=5
You cant solve it unless it is an equation. To be an equation it must have an equals sign.
Solve this system of equation using substitution 2x plus 6y equals 24 and 3x-2x equals 24 ?Improved Answer:2x+6y = 243x-2x = 24 => x =24Substitute the value of x into the top equation to find the value of y:48+6y = 246y = 24-486y = -24y = -4So: x = 24 and y = -4
You use substitution when you can solve for one variable in terms of the others. By substituting, you remove one variable from the equation, which can then be solved. Once you solve for one variable, you can use substitution to find the other.
In that instance, it means that the lines never touch.
