substitution.
x + 3 = y
3x + 4y = 7
:
From the 1st equation we know that: y = (x+3)
Substitute (x+3) for y in the 2nd equation
3x + 4(x+3) = 7
:
multiply what's inside the brackets
3x + 4x + 12 = 7
:
Add the x's, subtract 12 from both sides
7x = 7 - 12
7x = -5
x =
:
Find y
y = x + 3
substitute for x
y = + 3
Change 3 to 7ths
y = +
y =
:
Solution: x = ; y =
:
:
Check solution in the 2nd equation
3x + 4y = 7
Replace x and y
3() + 4() = 7
+ = 7
= 7
7 = 7; confirms our solutions,
