Answer:

To solve for an equation with two variables, substitute a zero(0) into the other variable and find one variable.

Explanation:

To solve for an equation with two variables, substitute a zero(0) into the other variable and find one variable.

Simple Example:

3x+3y=12

Substitute 0 as y,

3x+0=12

3x=12

12/3=4

x=4

Now substitute 4 into the main equation,

3(4)+3y=12

12+3y=12

-12 -12

3y=0

0/3=0

y=0

So the answer is

3(4)+3(0)=12

12=12
