Question

Solve the following system of equations using the substitution method.

Answer 1

Answer:

y=1; x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

Substitution:

x=2y

2x+5y=9

=> if x=2y, plug in the x value into other equation, so

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

2(2y)+5y=9

4y+5y=9

9y=9

y=1

You have the Y value, so now solve for X

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

plug in y value to x=2y

so x=2(1)

x=2
