  1. Answer:

    x=−3y+5−3x+5y=−3

    Consider the first equation. Combine −3y and 5y to get 2y.

    x=2y+5−3x

    Subtract 2y from both sides.

    x−2y=5−3x

    Add 3x to both sides.

    x−2y+3x=5

    Combine x and 3x to get 4x.

    4x−2y=5

    Consider the second equation. Combine −3y and 5y to get 2y.

    2y+5−3x=−3

    Subtract 5 from both sides.

    2y−3x=−3−5

    Subtract 5 from −3 to get −8.

    2y−3x=−8

    To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.

    4x−2y=5,−3x+2y=−8

    Choose one of the equations and solve it for x by isolating x on the left hand side of the equal sign.

    4x−2y=5

    Add 2y to both sides of the equation.

    4x=2y+5

    Divide both sides by 4.
