• Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

4x + y = 2

y = x - 3

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitution

1. Substitute in y:                    4x + (x - 3) = 2
2. Combine like terms:           5x - 3 = 2
3. Isolate x term:                     5x = 5
4. Isolate x:                              x = 1

Step 3: Solve for y

1. Define equation:                    y = x - 3
2. Substitute in x:                       y = 1 - 3
3. Subtract:                                 y = -2
