Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Substitution

Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Substitution

Step #1 Isolate a variable in one of the equations to get an expression

Solving Systems

Steps #2 Substitute that expression (from step #1) into the other equation.

Solving Systems

Step #3 Solve for the intersection point (x , y).

Solving Systems

step #4 write your answer as an order pair (x, y).
