To solve a system of equations using substitution you solve one of the equations for one of the variables then substitute that into the other equation to solve for the other variable.
For example.
y = 6x
2x + 3y = -20
The first equation has already been solved for y. So, you simply substitute that into the second equation.
2x + 3(6x) = -20
2x + 18x = -20
20x = -20
x = -20/20 = -1
Now you have solved for x. You can substitute your answer for x back into the first equation to solve for y.
y = 6x = 6(-1) = -6
Putting it all together...
x = -1
y = -6

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
In that instance, it means that the lines never touch.
If you mean: x+7y = 39 and 3x-2y = 2 Then by substitution: x = 4 and y = 5

George saves nickels and dimes for tolls. If he has 8 coins worth $2.60,how many are nickels and how many are dimes? Answer this question by using system of equation.
-10
You cant solve it unless it is an equation. To be an equation it must have an equals sign.
x = -2 and y = 1
If you mean: x+7y = 7 and 2x+y = 8 Then by substitution: x = 49/13 and y = 6/13
