You can put this solution on YOUR website!

Given the system:




is a good start. Now all you need to do is solve for x and then substitute that value back into either one of the original equations to compute the value of y.




Add to both sides:



Multiply both sides by



Substitute in the first of the original equations:



So your solution set is

Check your answer by substituting for x and y in the 2nd equation of your original system:

Is a true statement?



True, answer checks.
