Start with the given system of equations:
Now in order to solve this system by using substitution, we need to solve (or isolate) one variable. I'm going to solve for y.
So let's isolate y in the first equation
Start with the first equation
Subtract from both sides
Rearrange the equation
Divide both sides by
Break up the fraction
Reduce
---------------------
Since , we can now replace each in the second equation with to solve for
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.
Distribute to
Multiply
Combine like terms on the left side
Add 15 to both sides
Combine like terms on the right side
Divide both sides by 14 to isolate x
Divide
-----------------First Answer------------------------------
So the first part of our answer is:
Since we know that we can plug it into the equation (remember we previously solved for in the first equation).
Start with the equation where was previously isolated.
Plug in
Multiply
Combine like terms
-----------------Second Answer------------------------------
So the second part of our answer is:
-----------------Summary------------------------------
So our answers are:
and
which form the point )
Now let's graph the two equations (if you need help with graphing, check out this solver)
From the graph, we can see that the two equations intersect at . This visually verifies our answer.
