3x+1 = y 2x+3y = 14 explain the steps if you can as well

3x + 1 = y
2x + 3y = 14

To solve this system of equations, we are going to use the substitution method.  Substitution the equation where the variable is isolated into the second equation.  In this system of equations, y is isolated, so we will replace y in the second equation with 3x + 1.

2x + 3y = 14
2x + 3(3x + 1) = 14
2x + 9x + 3 = 14
We will add the like terms and subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.
11x + 3 = 14
11x = 11
x = 1
In this system of equations, x is equal to 1.  Now we will go back and solve for y, plugging in 1 for x.
3(1) + 1 = y
2(1) + 3y = 14

3 + 1 = y
2 + 3y = 14

4 = y
3y = 2

4 = y
4 = y

The solution to this system of equations is (1, 4).
