Use substitution to solve each system of equations.


x is solved for in the 1st eqn, so sub for x in the 2nd.



-----
x = 3y
x = 5
=================================
--> x = 2y + 4

Same as the 1st one.
========================


Same as #1.

Let's look at the first one.
x = 3y
2x + 3y = 15
.
To solve this using substitution, take the known value of X from the first equation and put it into the second equation.
.
2x + 3y = 15
2(3y) + 3y = 15 (substituted the 3y in place of the X)
Multiply
6y + 3y = 15
Add
9y = 15
Divide each side by 9
Y =
If y = 1, then x = 3 * 1, or 5 [x=3y from the first equation]
.
Use the same method to solve the others. If you need further help, please post questions one at a time.
