Below is a system of equations. Which method would you use to solve this? Why? Solve the problem, explaining each step.
x = y – 3
2x + y = 12

Answer:

(using substitution to solve the problem)

x=y-3

2x+y=12

2(y-3)+y=12

2y-6+y=12

3y=18

y=6

y=6

x=6-3

= (3, 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

using substitution, substitute the x in the second equation to y-3, to find the value of y. after that distribute the 2 into the parenthesis and collect like terms. once you simplify, you have the value of y, so substitute the value of y into the first equation to find x. once you have both values put them in the ordered pair form and you're done.

i hope this helps :)
