how do you find the answer for the equations y=2x-2 and y=x+2?
\n" ); document.write( " for substitution
\n" ); document.write( "y=2x-2 ----(1)
\n" ); document.write( "y=x+2 ----(2)
\n" ); document.write( "(putting (1) in (2) that is substituting for y)
\n" ); document.write( "2x-2 = x+2
\n" ); document.write( "2x-x = 2+2 (grouping like terms, changing sign while changing side)
\n" ); document.write( "x = 4
\n" ); document.write( "x=4 in (2) implies
\n" ); document.write( "y = x+2 = 4+2 = 6
\n" ); document.write( "Answer: x=4 and y=6
\n" ); document.write( "Verification: x=4 and y=6in (1)gives (6) = 2X(4)-2 which is correct
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
