Question 191164: Please help me solve this substitution problem.
3(x-y)=15
2x+y=7
The question I have is does it matter which equation I use as the substitution? I used the 2nd equation and came up with a different answer than with the first.
First solution:
3(x-y)=15
2x+y=7 y=7-2x
3(x-7-2x)=15
3x-21-6x=15
-3x=36
x=-12
y=7-2x
y=7-2(-12)
y=31
Second solution:
3(x-y)=15 3x-3y=15
2x+y=7 3x=15+3y
x=5+y
2(5+y)+y=7
10+2y+y=7
3y=-3
y=-1
x=5+y
x=5+-1
x=4

which is correct and how do I know which equation to start with on these types of problems?
