An example of a system of equations
Your solution steps and explanations including the substitution method
Your final answer for the system

Answer 1

Answer:

system of equations: set of one or more equations involving a number of variables

substitution method:

1. Solve one equation for one of the variables.

2. Substitute (plug-in) this expression into the other equation and solve.

3. Resubstitute the value into the original equation to find the corresponding variable.

ex:

-4x+3y=-2           y=x-1

plug in: -4x+3(x-1)=-2

simplify:  -x-3=-2

              -x=-2+3

              -x=1

answer:  x=1
