Explanation
 
Replace all occurrences of y “in x + y = 4” with 2x + 1
x + 2x + 1 = 4
simplify = 3x + 1 = 4
solve 3x + 1 = 4 for x
subtract 1 from both sides.
3x = 3
divide both sides by 3.
x = 1
solve y = 2x + 1 for y
we know x = 1, so we plug it in
y = 2(1) + 1 and simplify, y = 2(1) + 1 = 2 + 1
y = 3 

Solve the system by substitution.

Replace all occurrences of y in 4x+3y=1 with 2x−8.
4x + 3 (2x−8) = 1
y=2x−8
Simplify the left side.10x – 24 = 1
Y = 2x − 8
Solve for x in 10x−24=1.

y = 2x − 8
Replace all occurrences of x in y = 2x − 8 with
y = 2 () − 8.
Simplify 2 () − 8.
y = − 3
 

Solve the system by substitution.
y = x – 5
3x – 4(y-2) = 28 – x
 
                            (x, y) | y = x – 5
 
Replace all occurrences of y in 3x−4(y−2) = 28 − x with x − 5
3x − 4((x − 5) −2) = 28 − x
y = x − 5
Simplify the left side.
Simplify 3x − 4((x − 5) −2)
−x + 28 =28−x
y = x−5
Solve for x in −x + 28 = 28 − x.
Move all terms containing x to the left side of the equation. Add x
to both sides of the equation.
−x + 28 + x = 28
y = x−5
Combine the opposite terms in −x+28+x.
Add −x and x.

Solve for x in 3 x + 2y = 3.
Subtract 2y
from both sides of the equation.
3x = 3 − 2y
4x −3y = −13
Divide each term in 3x = 3 − 2y, by 3, and simplify.
x = 1 −
4x − 3y = −13
Replace all occurrences of x in 4x − 3y = −13 with 1 −

Explanation
 
Multiply each equation by the value that makes the coefficients of y opposite.
(2) (3x − y) = (2) (5)
−6x + 2y = 1
6x − 2y = 10
−6x + 2y = 1
Add the two equations together to eliminate y from the system.
6x − 2y = 10 + −6x + 2y = 1
0 = 11
Since 0 ≠ 11, there are no solutions.
No solution exists

Use the method of your choice to solve the system.
Jill, Karen, and Betsy studied a total of 93 hours last week.
Jill's and Karen's study time totaled only one-half as much as Betsy's.
If Jill studied 3 hours more than Karen, then
how many hours did each one of the girls spend studying?
 
            Karen - 14 hrs.
            Jill - 17 hrs.
            Betsy - 62 hrs.
 
Let x represent Karen's study time.  then Jills would be (x + 3) and
Betsy's would be 2[x + (x + 3)]
Question states
x + (x + 3) + 2[x + (x + 3)] = 93
solving for x
x + (x + 3) + 2x + 2x +6 = 93
6x + 9 = 93
6x = 84
84 / 6 = 14
Karen's study time x = 14 hrs.
Jill's hrs. 14 + 3 = 17
Betsy's hrs. 14 + 17 · 2 - 62
