How do solve the following linear system?: x + 3y = 9 , y= -2x + 1 x+3y=9,y=−2x+1? Algebra Systems of Equations and Inequalities Systems Using Substitution 1 Answer Sonnhard May 28, 2018 x=-6/5,y=17/5x=−65,y=175 Explanation: Plugging y=-2x+1y=−2x+1 in the first equation we get x+3(-2x+1)=9x+3(−2x+1)=9 so x-6x+3=9x−6x+3=9 -5x+3=9−5x+3=9 -5x=6−5x=6 x=-6/5x=−65 so y=12/5+5/5=17/5y=125+55=175 Answer link Related questions How do you solve systems of equations using the substitution method?
