Question

Using this system of linear equations: show all of the steps to solve using substitution.

Answer 1

(1,5)

Explanation:

y=3x+2

x+2y = 11

Substitute the whole value of y to the second equation:

x+ 2 (3x +2)=11

Distribute 2

x+6x+4=11

Combine like terms:

7x=7

x=1

Plug in the x value to any equation:

y=3(1)+2

y=3+2

y=5
