Question

Use the subsitution method to solve the system of equations. 2x+3y=12. Y=x-1

Answer 1

x = 3, and y = 2

Explanation:

2x + 3y = 12 -------- (1)

y = x - 1 ---------------(2)

Substitute value of Y in (2) in (1)

2x + 3(x-1) = 12

2x + 3x - 3 = 12

5x - 3 = 12

5x = 12 + 3

5x = 15

x = 15/5

x = 3

Put the value of x in equation 2

y = x-1

y = 3 - 1

y = 2

Therefore, x = 3, and y = 2
