    Solving Systems of Equations

    By Substitution method
    Solving By Substitution method ( Replace method)

    These are the steps:


    Label the equations
    Search for one equation which is in the
    style "variable = ...“ or Find an equation
    that looks like this x=.. Or Y=..
    Replace (i.e. substitute) that variable in
    the other equation(s).
    Solve the other equation(s)
    1) Solve the system using substitution

    Equ1
     Step 1: label the equations
    x+y=5
    Equ2
    y=3+x
     Step 2: Find an equation that looks like this
    x=.. Or Y=..(one variable on one side), on Look at the second equation
    variable by itself (equ2)

    x+y=5
     Step 3: Go to Equ 1 x + (3 + x) = 5
    Replace y by 3 + x
    2x + 3 = 5
    2x = 2
    x=1
     Step 4: Go to Equ 2 x+y=5
    Find Y (1) + y = 5
    y=4
    2) Solve the system using substitution
    x=3–y Equ1
     Step 1: label the equations
    x-y=7 Equ2

     Step 2: Find an equation that looks


    like this x=.. Or Y=..(one variable on Look at the first equation !
    one side), on variable by itself (equ1)

    x-y=7
    Step 3
    Go to equation 2 (3 – y) - y = 7
    Replace x by 3 – y

    3–2y=7
    -2y=4
    Y= -2

    X=3–y
    X= 3+ 2
    X=5
    3) Solve the system using substitution
    y = 2x – 4 Equ1
     Step 1: label the equations
    6x +y = 4 Equ2

     Step 2: Find an equation that looks


    like this x=.. Or Y=..(one variable on Look at the first equation !
    one side), on variable by itself (equ1)

    Step 3 6x + y = 4
    Go to equation 2 6x +2x - 4 = 4
    Replace y by 2x-4
    8x = 8
    X=1

    Step 4: Find y Y=2x–4


    Go to equ 1 Y= 2×1 – 4
    Y= -2
    4) Solve the system using substitution

    2 x  7 y  12 Equ1
     Step 1: label the equations
    x  3 2y Equ2

     Step 2: Find an equation that looks like this


    x=.. Or Y=..(one variable on one side), on Look at the second equation
    variable by itself (equ2)

    2x + 7y = -12
     Step 3: Go to Equ 1 2(3-2y) + 7y= -12
    Replace x by 3 – 2y
    6 – 4 y + 7 y = -12
    6 + 3y = -12
    3y =-18
    Y = -6

     Step 4: Go to Equ 2 x = 3 – 2y
    X= 3 – (2 ×-6)
    Find x X= 3 + 12
    X=15
    5) Solve the system using substitution

    y=x+1 Equ1
     Step 1: label the equations
    4x + y = 6 Equ2

     Step 2: Find an equation that looks like this


    x=.. Or Y=..(one variable on one side), on Look at the second equation
    variable by itself (equ1)

    4x + y = 6
     Step 3: Go to Equ 2 4x + (x + 1) = 6
    Replace y by x + 1
    5x + 1 = 6
    –1 –1
    5x = 5
    x=1
     Step 4: Go to Equ 1 y=x+1
    Find y y=1+1
    y=2
