Algebra.Com's Answer #210601 by brucewill(101)![]() ![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! When they say \"by substituion\", that means take isolate one variable in a sentence, and substitute that variable into the other equation. In this case, the first statement already has establish a value for x (namely 2+y), so we substitute (2+y) for x, into the second statement, and solve for y:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4(2+y) - 3y = 11 \n" ); document.write( "8 + 4y = 3y = 11; now, subtract 8 from both sides \n" ); document.write( "4y = 3y + 3; now, subtract 3y from both sides \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Substitute the y=3 back into the first statement:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "x = 2 + 3 \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Verify, by substituting into original equations: \n" ); document.write( "5 = 2 + 3. OK\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "4(5) - 3(3) = 11 \n" ); document.write( "20 - 9 = 11. OK.\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
