Solving Systems by Substitution
Sometimes it is difficult to identify the
exact solution to a system by graphing. In
this case, you can use a method called
substitution.
The goal when using substitution is to
reduce the system to one equation that
has only one variable. Then you can
solve this equation by the methods
taught in Chapter 2.

Step 4
Step 5
Step 1
Pick one equation and solve for one
variable. Circle this equation.
Substitute the resulting expression into the
other equation.
Solve that equation to get the value of the
first variable.
Substitute this value back into the circled
equation from Step 1.
Write the values from steps 3 and 4 as an
ordered pair, (x, y), and check.
