Solving the equations system by substitution

Rearranging (I)

A + C = 28

A = 28 - C

Replacing (I) in (II)

(28 - C) - 2C = 10

28 -3C = 10

3C= 28 - 10

C= 18 /3

C= 6

_____________

Answer

Mr. Coble's favorite number is 6

Verifying

A = 28 - C

A= 22 (Mr. Alfred's favorite number )

A + C = 28 (I)

22 + 6 = 28

A - 2C = 10 (II)

22 - 6*2 = 10

22- 12= 10
