Finding the Solution to a System of Equations by
SUBSTITUTION
Here is our
system:
3x+6y=16
x+3y=5
Are either of the Equations
already solved for one of the
variables? NO
The Lonely X
If not, which variable should we
choose to isolate?
Isolate:
Solution:
x + 3y = 5
-3y -3y
x = -3y + 5
Substitute & Solve:
3x + 6y = 16
3(-3y + 5) + 6y = 16
3(-3y) + 3(5) + 6y = 16
-9y + 15 + 6y = 16
-3y + 15 = 16
-15 -15
-3y = 1
-3 -3
y = -1/3
( 6 , -1/3)
Substitute & Solve AGAIN:
** use the equation
that is ALREADY
solved for x**
x = -3y + 5
x = -3(-1/3) + 5
x= 1 + 5
x=6
