How do you solve #y=2x+7# and #y=5x+4# using substitution? Algebra Systems of Equations and Inequalities Systems Using Substitution 1 Answer Alexander Jul 9, 2016 # 2x+7=5x+4# Subtract #2x# from both sides, giving us #(2x-2x)+7=(5x-2x)+4# #7=3x+4# Subtract #4# from both sides, which finally gives us #3=3x#, so #x = 1# Answer link Related questions How do you solve systems of equations using the substitution method?
