1.x+%2B+y+=+13
2.y+-+x+=+-7
Use equation 2 to get an expression for y in terms of x.
2.y+-+x+=+-7
y+=+-7+%2B+x
Now substitute that expression into equation 1 and solve for x.
1.x+%2B+y+=+13
x+%2B+%28-7%2Bx%29+=+13
2x-7=13
2x=20
highlight%28x=10%29
From equation 2,
y+=+-7+%2B+x
y+=+-7+%2B+10
highlight%28y+=+3%29
Check your answers.
1.x+%2B+y+=+13
10%2B3=13
13=13
