Question 183623: When solving Linear Systems algebraically, there are the three main methods; Substitution, Elimination, and the Special Case ones.
I have already found the answer in the Elimination Method, but I was wondering if you could help me solve it in the Substitution Method.
This is the system;
x+y=5
3x-y=3
(I appreciate any help on how to work out this method!)

Hi so say..get y alone on the top
y=-1x+5
so plug it in to the bottom equation
3x--1x+-5
4x=8
x=2
y=3
(2,3)
Hope that clears it up!
