Question 131039: Solve the system of equations by the substitution method.
y=6x+8
y=9x+10

The solution is:
(Type an ordered pair. Type integers or simplified fractions. Type N if there is no solution. Type I if there are infinitely many solutions.)

Start with the given system

Plug in into the first equation. In other words, replace each with . Notice we've eliminated the variables. So we now have a simple equation with one unknown.

Subtract 10 from both sides

Subtract 6x from both sides

Combine like terms on the left side

Combine like terms on the right side

Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x

Now that we know that , we can plug this into to find

Substitute for each

Simplify

So our answer is and which also looks like

Notice if we graph the two equations, we can see that their intersection is at

. So this verifies our answer.
