Ernesto tried to determine the solution for the system of equations using substitution. His work is shown below. x – y = 7 3x –
2y = 8 Step 1: x = y + 7 Step 2: 3(y + 7) – 2y = 8 Step 3: 3y + 7 – 2y = 8 Step 4: y + 7 = 8 Step 5: y = 1 Ernesto tried to determine the solution for the system of equations using substitution. His work is shown below. x – y = 7 3x – 2y = 8 Step 1: x = y + 7 Step 2: 3(y + 7) – 2y = 8 Step 3: 3y + 7 – 2y = 8 Step 4: y + 7 = 8 Step 5: y = Ernesto tried to determine the solution for the system of equations using substitution.
