Without any equality signs they can't be considered to be equations. But if you mean: x+2y =12 and y = x+3 then the solution is as follows x+2y = 12 -x+y = 3 Adding the equations together: 3y = 15 and y = 5 By substitution: x = 2 Solution: x = 2 and y = 5
Say you have a pair of equations like a+b=1 and 2a+3b=5. To solve using substitution you would set one equation against one variable (say a=1-b) then plug that into the other (2(1-b)+3b=5), then solve for the one variable you have there and then plug that result into the other equation (in this case b=3 and a=-2).
To solve this question use a two variable system of equations. First assign a variable to each number: a=first number b=second number Then use the information in the problem to write two equations They have a product of 20 translates to: a x b =20 They have a sum of 9 translates to: a + b =9 Use the method of substitution. Isolate one variable in the 1st equation: a= 20/b Plug it into the 2nd equation: (20/b) + b = 9 Solve for b: b = 5 Now put b back into the 2nd equation: a + 5=9 Solve for a: a = 4 So the solution is 4 and 5.

2x + 5y = 2-3x - y = -3from the second equation:-y = -3 + 3xy = 3 - 3xsubstitute this value in the first equation:2x + 5(3-3x) = 22x + 15 - 15x = 2-13x + 15 = 2-13x = 2 - 15-13x = -13so, x = 1Now, solve for y :y = 3 - 3xy = 3 - 3 (1)y = zero
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
3(5x-2y)=18 5/2x-y=-1
There are 5 ways to solve a system. The most popular is to write both in standard notation then add the equations together. The easiest to explain is to use substitution. Solve one for one of the variables then substitute in the other equation. The other ways to solve are to use graphing and find the intersection. Determinants and matrices are the other two ways.
5x - y = 55x - 3y = 15from the first equation:5x = 5 + y , substitute it in the second equation:5 + y - 3y = 155 -2y = 15-2y = 15 - 5-2y = 10y = -5Now,solve for x :5x = 5 +y5x = 5 -5 = zerox = zero
Add the two equations together. The x disappears. 2y - x = 3 + x = 3y - 5 ------------------------ 2y = 3y -2 Can you finish it from there?

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.
From first equation: y = 2x - 5Substitute this in second equation: 3(2x - 5) - x = 5, ie 6x - 15 - x = 5ie 5x = 5 + 15 so x = 4 and y = 3

By definition: 4x-10 = 5-x 4x+x = 5+10 5x = 15 x = 3 and y = 2
The substitution property of equality states that for any real numbers a and b if a = b then a can be substituted for b. This means that if a = b then we can change any bto an a or any a to a b. Let x = 5. We can now solve the expression below by substituting: (x + 4)/3 We can change any x to a 5 or any 5 to an x. So lets substitue the 5 in for the x: (5 + 4)/3 = 3. Essentially, the substitution property says that if two things are the same, it doesn't matter which one you use.
