Solving systems of equations using substitution/eliminationSolving systems of equations by graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

y = x - 2

-2x + 3y = -1

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitute in y:                    -2x + 3(x - 2) = -1Distribute 3:                         -2x + 3x - 6 = -1Combine like terms:            x - 6 = -1Isolate x:                               x = 5

Step 3: Solve for y

Define equation:                    y = x - 2Substitute in x:                       y = 5 - 2Subtract:                                 y = 3
