Find the solution to each system by the substitution method. Check your answers for exercises 15-18.
10x+3y=8
2x+y=2

anonymous · Answer

The substitution method requires you to solve an equation for x in terms of y or y in terms of x.  Is there an equation that allows you to solve for x or y without too much work?

anonymous · Answer

How?

anonymous · Answer

anonymous · Answer

x=1/2,
y=1
