Question

Use the substitution method to solve the system of equations. Choose the

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 1

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this problem by inputting the second equation into the first equation by replacing the y variable with the second equation.

x + 3y = 10

y = x + 2

x + 3(x + 2) = 10

Now, distribute three with x and 2

3 * x = 3x

3 * 2 - 6

x + 3x + 6 = 10

4x + 6 = 10

Subtract 6 from both sides

4x = 4

So, x = 1

Solve for y by replacing x in the second equation with 1.

y = 1 + 2

y = 3
