Question 463364: Solve a system of two equations by using the substitution property of equality
5x-6y=0
y=x

5x - 6y = 0
y = x

5x - 6x = 0 {substituted x, in for y, into top equation}
-x = 0 {combined like terms}
x = 0 {divided both sides by -1}

y = x {bottom equation}
y = 0 {substituted 0, in for x, into bottom equation}
