Substitution Method for Solving Equations

The substitution method is used to solve systems of equations.
It involves replacing one variable in an equation with an equivalent expression from another equation.
The method typically involves 5 steps to solve a system of two equations.

Steps for Substitution Method

Step 1: Solve one equation for one variable. This isolates one variable in terms of the other.
Step 2: Substitute the expression from Step 1 into the other equation. This creates a new equation with only one variable.
Step 3: Solve the new equation for the remaining variable.
Step 4: Substitute the value found in Step 3 back into either of the original equations to find the value of the other variable.
Step 5: Verify the solution by substituting both values into both of the original equations.
