Place the steps for solving by the substitution method in order.

1st.
2nd.
3rd.
4th.
5th.



1 : Check by adding the equations to see if a variable will eliminate.

2 : Substitute the value into one of the original equations and solve for the other variable.

3 : Write the solution as an ordered pair.

4 : Solve for the remaining variable.

5 : If it doesn't eliminate, try subtraction. Change the terms in the second equation to the opposite and check to see if a variable will eliminate.
