Substitution Method
| Equations:
2x + 3y = 1 y + 4x =-3 |
|
| Step 1:
Solve one of the equations for one of its variables. Step 2: Substitute the expression from Step 1 into the other equation and solve for the other variable. Step 3: Substitute the value from step 2 into the revised equation from Step 1 and solve. |
Step 1: y + 4x =-3 y =-4x - 3 Step 2: 2x + 3y = 1 2x + 3(-4x - 3) = 1 x = 1 Step 3: y =-4(1) - 3 y = -7 |
