To solve a system of equations using substitution... 1\. Isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, e.g. rewrite 2x+y=3 as y=3-2x. 2\. You can now express the isolated variable using the other one. *Substitute* that expression into the second equation, e.g. rewrite x+2y=5 as x+2(3-2x)=5. 3\. Now you have an equation with one variable! Solve it, and use what you got to find the othe
