Question 2a
Data Given: 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 13
𝑥 − 2𝑦 = −1
Required to Calculate the value of 𝑥 and 𝑦
Using the Method of Substitution
Step 1: Let 3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 13 be Equation 1
Let 𝑥 − 2𝑦 = 1 be Equation 2
Step 2: From Equation 2, we find for an expression in terms of y
𝑥 = −1 + 2𝑦
𝑥 = 2𝑦 − 1 [Equation 3]
Step 3: Substitute Equation 3 into Equation 1
3(2𝑦 − 1) + 2𝑦 = 13
