put
Explanation:
Substitution means plugging one equation to another to solve for a variable, so:
Let's plug
By plugging it in, you get
Move variables to one side and constants in another
Since we found x, we can find y by plugging x back into either equations. Answer would be the same. To prove this, I'll plug x into both equations.
So,
