Well basically you are plugging in variables. Lets use a random but simple system of equations.
y = 2x - 3
6x + 8y = 20
Now you need to plug in the top equation, which equals y, into the bottom equation.
6x + 8(2x - 3) = 20
6x + 16x - 24 = 20
Combine like terms.
22x - 24 = 20
Add 24 to both sides.
22x = 44
Divide.
x = 2
Now plug in 2 in any of the original equations.
y = 2x - 3
y = 2(2) - 3
y = 4 - 3
y = 1
So your solution is (2,1). And thats how you use substitution.
I hope this helps love! :)

On a bike ride, calvin starts at home and goes up a long hill for 30 minutes at just 6 mph. at the top, he turns around and ride
omeli [17]

Answer:

<u>9 mph</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Calvin's first leg of the trip took 0.5 hr (30 minutes) at 6 mph.  That means he travelled (0.5hr x 6 mph =) 3 miles.  He travelled 3 miles on the return trip, by definition (same path home).  At 18 mph, 3 miles would take (3 miles/18 mph =) 0.1667 hours.  That makes a total of 6 miles and (0.5 + 0.1667=) 0.6667 hours.

(6 miles)/(0.6667 hours) = 9 mph is Calvin's average speed for the round trip.
