How do I use substitution to solve

nekit [7.7K]

<span>The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables (you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.</span>

2x+3y=1 and y=-2 - 9 solve using linear combination method. Please explain steps.

Answer:

$x=17$

Step-by-step explanation:

$2x+3y=1$

$y=-2-9$

In order to combine these two equations, an idea you need to keep in mind is finding a way of setting these equations as equal to each other. I saw that each equation shared a common value, $y$ . In this case, we need to isolate $y$ in the first equation so that both equations $=y$ .

$2x+3y=1$

$3y=-2x+1$

$\frac{3y}{3}=\frac{-2x+1}{3}$

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

With this, we now know that both $-2-9$ and $-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$ are equal to $y$ , so we can set them equal to each other.

$y=-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}$

$y=-11$

$-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11$

Reply to this if anything I'm saying or doing is confusing in any way, or if you find a mistake. :) Solve for $x$ .

$-\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{1}{3}=-11$

$-\frac{2}{3}x=-11-\frac{1}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{33}{3}-\frac{1}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x =-\frac{34}{3}$

$-\frac{2}{3}x(-\frac{3}{2})=-\frac{34}{3}(-\frac{3}{2})$

$x=\frac{102}{6}=17$

$x=17$

Hopefully this answer is correct AND makes sense in terms of how I achieved it. Again, reply to this with any questions or mistakes I made and I'll do my best to answer or fix them.
