Solve each system of equations using substitution. x=y+1 x=3y+2

x=1/2

y=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = y+1

x = 3y+2

Substitution means that you solve one equation for a variable by plugging it into the other equation. In this case, the first part is already done for you, and all you have to do is plugging in.

As you're given the value of the x in both equations, it does not matter which equation you plug into. You can plug either equation into one another.

For this, I will show you by plugging in the bottom equation for the top equation.

x = y+1

x = 3y+2

As we know x=3y+2, you must SUBSTITUTE that for the "x" in the top equation.

3y+2 = y+1

From there, you must solve it for the "y" value. In order to solve for the "y" value, you must get the "y" by itself onto one side.

So, subtract y from both sides.

(3y-y)+2 = (y-y)+1

Rewrite the equation.

2y+2 = 1

Remember, the goal is to get the "y" BY ITSELF.

There's a "+2" on the side of the y, so that has to be cancelled out. You can cancel it out by doing the OPPOSITE of adding, which is subtracting. So subtract both sides by 2.

2y+(2-2)=(1-2)

When subtracting a bigger number from a smaller number. The pattern is: Keep it, flip it, flip it.

Keep the 1.

Flip the - to a +

Flip the 2 into a -2.

So you get 1+(-2) which is -1. Now, rewrite the equation.

2y=-1

You want the y by itself. Right now, the y is being multiplied by 2, so you have to do the OPPOSITE, which is division. Divide both sides by 2.

y=-1/2

Now, use this value to plug into your ORIGINAL equations (you can pick either)

x = y+1 OR x = 3y+2

x= -1/2 + 1

x=1/2

(1/2, -1/2)

i need more info. are you looked to see there mph? how much they deliver? how far they go?

step-by-step explanation:

the red lines denote the population of the bacteria after 35 hours. that would be 2,409.24. the y-intercept is the blue line which is 800 because that is the starting point. the equation used to make the graph is 800(1.032)^h, where h is the number of hours.
