Solve the system of linear equations by subsitution.
x - 2y = 9
x - y = 11
x - 2y = 9
x - y = 11
-
x - y = 11
x = y + 11
(y + 11) - 2y = 9
-y = -2
y = 2
x - 2 = 11
x = 13
CHECK
13 - 2(2) = 9
(13, 2)
x = y + 11
(y + 11) - 2y = 9
-y = -2
y = 2
x - 2 = 11
x = 13
CHECK
13 - 2(2) = 9
(13, 2)

solve for one variable in the easier problem.
#2 : x =y +11
substitue in the first problem.
#1 : (y+11) - 2y = 9
solve for y
plug the y into BOTH equations to solve for x.
if the answers are the same both x and y are correct
#2 : x =y +11
substitue in the first problem.
#1 : (y+11) - 2y = 9
solve for y
plug the y into BOTH equations to solve for x.
if the answers are the same both x and y are correct

muliply bortom line by 2( everything on it) then cancel the y's. 2x is 20. x is 10. sub 19 in for x in one of equaions. 10 - y is 11. y is 11 - 10. y is 1
-
x=2y+9
so
2y+9 -y=11
y+9 =11
y=2
plug that into first equation:
x-2(2)=9
x-4=9
x=13
(13, 2)
so
2y+9 -y=11
y+9 =11
y=2
plug that into first equation:
x-2(2)=9
x-4=9
x=13
(13, 2)

x-y=11 --> y=11-x --> x-2(11-x)=9 --> x-22-2x=9 -->-x=-13 --> x=13
If x=13 then
13-2y=9 -->-2y=-4 y=2
Answers:
x=13
y=2
If x=13 then
13-2y=9 -->-2y=-4 y=2
Answers:
x=13
y=2
