The method of substitution is a three step method to solve the equations. In this method , one equation for one of the variables is solved and in the first step.
The outcome is then substituted to the second equation in the second step for solving the equation.The value is re-substituted to the original equation to find the outcome in the third step.
On solving the equations by substitution method we get x=14 and y=-3
Given equations:
[tex]\rm 2x+8y = 4[/tex] (1)
[tex]\rm x=-3y+5[/tex] (2)
On substituting [tex]x=-3y+5[/tex] in equation 1:
[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm 2(-3y+5)+8y&=4\\\\-6y+10+8y&=4\\\\2y+10&=4\\\\2y&=4-10\\\\ 2y &= -6\\\\y&=\dfrac{-6}{2}\\\\y&=-3\end[/tex]
Substituting [tex]\rm y=-3[/tex] in equation 2:
[tex]\rm x&=-3y+5\\\\x&=-3(-3)+5\\\\x=9+5\\\\x=14[/tex]
Therefore the values of x and y for the given equations is 14 and -3 respectively.
