Solve the following system of equations. 2x + y=3
x=2y-1

Make sure there are NO SPACES in your answer. Include a comma in your answer.

ANSWER: {(
)}

x=1,y=1

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we can use the substitution method. Since we know that x is equal to 2y-1, we can rewrite the first equation as 2(2y-1)+y=3. Now solving we get:

4y-2+y=3

5y-2=3

5y=5

y=1

Now we can plug in 1 for y in the second equation and get:

x=2(1)-1

x=1

This means that x=1, and y=1

b.) 160 miles on a 5 gallons car

step-by-step explanation:

240/10=24 miles/gallon

160/5=32 miles/gallon

30/1=30 miles/gallon

168/6= 28 miles/gallon

32 miles/gallon is the most amount, so this is the best.

x = -3

y = -18

step-by-step explanation:

to solve by substitution, substitute one variable and solve for the other. then substitute again to find the remaining variable.

x-1/3(3x-9) = -3 since y=3x-9 substittute y.

x-1/3(3x-9)=-3

x + x +3 = -3

2x+3=-3

2x+3-3= -3-3

2x=-6

x=-3

substitute again into y=3x-9

y=3(-3)-9

y=-9-9

y=-18
