Solve the following system of equations by using the substitution method.
x = y + 3
2x + y = 9

Substitute for x in the second equation:-

2(y + 3) + y = 9

2y + 6 + y = 9

3y = 9 - 6 = 3

so y =  3/3  = 1

Now plug this value of y into first eqution:-

x = 1 + 3 = 4

So you answer is x = 4 and y = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

arrange the equations with like terms in columns.

analyze the coefficients of x or y.

add the equations and solve for the remaining variable.

substitute the value into either equation and solve.

check the solution.
