If you were to use the substitution method to solve the following system, we need to write one of the equation to an <span>expression equivalent to y. Let us say the second equation, we write it as follows:
From what we know in April and May combined Joe has collected 61 stamps (27+34=61). To then work out how many Joe collected in June you would take the 61 we know he has already got away from the grand total of 94 (94-61=33) this means in June he collects 33 stamps. Hope this helps :)
