Solve for linear equations by substitution

x + 2y = 6
X-y=3

Let's solve your system by substitution.

x+2y=6;x−y=3

Step: Solvex+2y=6for x:

x+2y=6

x+2y+−2y=6+−2y(Add -2y to both sides)

x=−2y+6

Step: Substitute−2y+6forxinx−y=3:

x−y=3

−2y+6−y=3

−3y+6=3(Simplify both sides of the equation)

−3y+6+−6=3+−6(Add -6 to both sides)

−3y=−3

−3y

−3

=

−3

−3

(Divide both sides by -3)

y=1

Step: Substitute1foryinx=−2y+6:

x=−2y+6

x=(−2)(1)+6

x=4(Simplify both sides of the equation)

x=4 and y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

x=4 and y=1
