\left(-v\right)y+a=-1,wy+x=a
To solve a pair of equations using substitution, first solve one of the equations for one of the variables. Then substitute the result for that variable in the other equation.
\left(-v\right)y+a=-1
Pick one of the two equations which is more simple to solve for y by isolating y on the left hand side of the equal sign.
\left(-v\right)y=-a-1
Subtract a from both sides of the equation.
y=\frac{a+1}{v}
Divide both sides by -v.
w\times \frac{a+1}{v}+x=a
Substitute \frac{1+a}{v} for y in the other equation, wy+x=a.
\frac{w\left(a+1\right)}{v}+x=a
Multiply w times \frac{1+a}{v}.
x=\frac{av-aw-w}{v}
Subtract \frac{w\left(1+a\right)}{v} from both sides of the equation.
y=\frac{a+1}{v},x=\frac{av-aw-w}{v}
The system is now solved.
