Question 135392: Solving Systems of Linear Equations by the Substitution Method.
I am having a difficult time understanding how to do this. I was hoping someone could help me.
The problem is: 2x+3y=7
x=2
So would it be 2(2)+3(y)=7? How do I get y?
4+3y=7 I would think that y would equal 1 since 3*1=3+4 would equal 7
However, I am not sure if this is the way the problem needs to be worked out.
Will you please help me understand this? Thank you!

Question 137270: Could you please solve by using sustitution method. Please show details.
Thank you.
x - y = 3
x=3+y
Now substitute x value of 3+y into the below equation
3x - 2y = 3
3(3+y)-2y=3
9+3y-2y=3
9+y=3 subtract 9 to each side
y=3-9
y=-6
x-y=3
x=3+y
x=3+(-6)
x=-3
