(1) y = x + 3

(2)-2x + y = -4

It is usual to present the equations showing one unknown expressed in terms of the other unknown. This is already the case in Equation (1).

Restructuring Equation (2) gives y = 2x -4

(1) y = x + 3

(3) y = 2x - 4 Now subtract Equation (1) from Equation (3) to eliminate y.

y - y = 2x - x -4 -3 : 0 = x - 7 : x = 7

Substitute for x in Equation (1)

y = 7 + 3 : y = 10
