Question 948731
All you have to do to solve by substitution is just substitute one thing for the other. Here's an example:
First equation: Y= x + 2
Second equation: 6= x + y

All, you have to do is plug in the value of "y" from the first equation into the second equation.

6 = x + (x+2) did you see what I just did there? I just plugged for y. Now, all you have to do is solve.

6 = x + (x+2)
6 = 2x + 2
4 = 2x
2 = x

Now try to find out what "y" is.


Y = 2 + 2
Y = 4

The solution to the inequalities is (2,4)
