Question

Y=3-x 3y+x=5 solve by substitution method

Answer 1

x = 2

y = 1

Explanation:

3y + x = 5 y = 3 - x

3(3 - x) + x = 5

9 - 3x + x = 5

9 - 2x = 5

-2x = -4

x = 2

Now put 2 in for x and solve for y

3y + x = 5

3y + 2 = 5

3y = 3

y = 1

Let's Check

1 = 3 - 2

1 = 1

So, x = 2 and y = 1 is the correct answer.
