There is a special kind of substitution which some books call it by comparison.
When the two equations are both
y=some function of x
y=some other function of x, then
we can substitute the second equation into the first giving
some function of x = some other function of x and start solving.
For example,
<span>y = –2x + 8
y = x – 1
substitute second into first
x-1=-2x+8
isolate x on left,
3x=9
x=3
second step is to substitute x=3 into second equation to get
y=x-1=3-1=2
Therefore the solution is (3,2)</span>
L'Shonda purchased a container of juice. 80 calories are from carbohydrates.
<u>Solution:</u>
Given that, LShonda purchased a container of juice that contains 200 calories.
The label says that 40% of the calories are from carbohydrates.
We have to find how many calories are from carbohydrates?
Now, according to the given information,
<em>Number of calories from carbohydrates = 40% of the total calories of the juice
</em>
Then, calories from carbohydrates = 40% of 200 calories
40% can be written in fraction as 

Hence, 80 calories are from carbohydrates.
31 divided by 9548 is 0.00324675
