3y+6n=10,2y+3x=4
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.
3y+6n=10
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.
3y=10-6n
Subtract 6n from both sides of the equation.
y=\frac{10}{3}-2n
Divide both sides by 3.
2\left(\frac{10}{3}-2n\right)+3x=4
Substitute \frac{10}{3}-2n for y in the other equation, 2y+3x=4.
\frac{20}{3}-4n+3x=4
Multiply 2 times \frac{10}{3}-2n.
3x=4n-\frac{8}{3}
Subtract \frac{20}{3}-4n from both sides of the equation.
x=\frac{4n}{3}-\frac{8}{9}
Divide both sides by 3.
y=\frac{10}{3}-2n,x=\frac{4n}{3}-\frac{8}{9}
The system is now solved.
