Question 68635
{{{x + 2y = 13}}}
{{{3x - 5y = 6}}}
Here are the Steps using Substition method
1. In either equation, solve for one variable in terms of the other. Solve x in terms of y.
{{{x + 2y = 13}}}
x = -2y + 13
<br>
2. Substitute for that variable in the other equation. Solve for y.
{{{3x - 5y = 6}}}
3(-2y +13) - 5y = 6
3(-2y) + 3(13) - 5y = 6
-6y + 39 - 5y = 6
-11y = -33
{{{highlight (y = 3)}}}
<br>
3. Substitute the result from step 2 in either equation. Solve for the other variable.
{{{x + 2y = 13}}}, y = 3
x + 2(3) = 13
x + 6 = 13
{{{highlight (x = 7)}}}
<br>
4. Check the solution in both original equations.
{{{x + 2y = 13}}}, y = 3, x = 7
7 + 2(3) = 13
7 + 6 = 13 ------------>> True

<br>
{{{3x - 5y = 6}}},  y = 3, x = 7
3(7) - 5(3) = 6
21 - 15 = 6
6 = 6 ------------>> True
