Equations by Substitution
Solving Linear Systems by Substitution
Example 1:
Solving a System of Linear Equations by Substitution
Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.
y = -2x – 9
6x – 5y = -19
Equation 1
Equation 2
Step 1: Equation 1 is already solved for y.
Step 2: Substitute -2x – 9 in for y in Equation 2
and solve for x.
6x – 5(-2x – 9) = -19
6x + 10x + 45 = -19
16x + 45 = -19
- 45 - 45
16x = -64
x = -4
Step 3: Substitute -4 in for x in Equation 1 and
solve or y.
y = -2(-4) – 9
y=8–9
y = -1
The solution is (-4,-1).
Remember to check your work by substituting
the values back in the original equations!

1) y = 3x + 14
y = -4x
(-2,8)
2) x = 6y – 7
4x + y = -3
(-1,1)
Example 2:
Solving a System of Linear Equations by Substitution
Solve the system of linear equations by substitution.
-x + y = 3
3x + y = -1
Equation 1
Equation 2
Step 1: Solve Equation 1 for y.
y = x +3
Step 2: Substitute x + 3 in for y in Equation 2
and solve for x.
3x + (x + 3) = -1
4x + 3 = -1
-3 -3
4x = -4
x = -1
Step 3: Substitute -1 in for x in Equation 1 and
solve or y.
-(-1) + y = 3
1+y=3
y=2
The solution is (-1,2).

3) –x + y = -4
4x – y = 10
(2,-2)
Example 3:
Solving Real-Life Problems
A drama club earns $1040 from a production. A total of 64 adult
tickets and 132 student tickets are sold. An adult ticket cost twice
as much as a student ticket. Write a system of linear equations to
represent the situation. What is the cost of each ticket type?
64 ∙ 𝑎𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 + 132 ∙ 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = 1040
𝐴𝑑𝑢𝑙𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒 = 2 ∙ 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑘𝑒𝑡 𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑐𝑒
Let x be the price (in dollars) of an adult ticket.
Let y be the price (in dollars) of a student ticket.
𝑆𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚:
64𝑥 + 132𝑦 = 1040
x = 2y
𝑆𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚:
64𝑥 + 132𝑦 = 1040
x = 2y
Step 1: Equation 2 is already solved for x.
Step 2: Substitute 2y in for x in Equation 1
and solve for y.
64(2y) + 132y = 1040
128y + 132y = 1040
260y = 1040
y=4
Equation 1
Equation 2
Step 3: Substitute 4 in for y in Equation 2 and
solve or x.
x = 2(4)
x=8
The solution is (8,4). This means that an adult
ticket cost $8 and a student ticket cost $4.

4) There are a total of 64 students in a drama club and a yearbook
club. The drama club has 10 more students than the yearbook club.
Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation.
How many students are in each club?
# 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑎 𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑏 + # 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑏 = 64
#𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑑𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑎 𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑏 − 10 = # 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑡𝑢𝑑𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑠 𝑖𝑛 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑦𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑏𝑜𝑜𝑘 𝑐𝑙𝑢𝑏
Let x be the number of students in the drama club.
Let y be the number of students in the yearbook club.
𝑆𝑦𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑚:
𝑥 + 𝑦 = 64
x -10 = y
The solution is (37,27). This means
that there are 37 students in the
drama club and 27 students in the
yearbook club.
