Use the substitution method to solve:
a + b = 88
13a + 17b = 128
Check Format
Equation 1 is in the correct format.
Check Format
Equation 2 is in the correct format.
Rearrange Equation 2 to solve for a:
13a + 17b = 128
Subtract 17b from both sides to isolate a:
13a + 17b - 17b = 128 - 17b
13a = 128 - 17b
Now divide by 13:
| 13a | |
| 13 |
| = |
| 128 - 17b |
| 13 |
Revised Equation 2:
| a = | 128 - 17b |
| 13 |
Plug Revised Equation 2 value into a:
1(a) + b = 88
1 * ((128 - 17b)/13) + b = 88
((128 - 17b)/13) + b = 88
Multiply equation 1 through by 13
13 * (((128 - 17b)/13) + b = 88)
13 * (((128 - 17b)/13) + b = 88)
128 - 17b + 13b = 1144
Group like terms:
-17b + 13b = 1144 - 128
-4b = 1016
Divide each side by -4
| -4b | |
| -4 |
| = |
| 1016 |
| -4 |
| b = | 1016 |
| -4 |
b = -254
Plug this answer into Equation 1
1a + 1(-254) = 88
1a - 254 = 88
1a = 88 - -254
1a = 342
Divide each side by 1
| 1a | |
| 1 |
| = |
| 342 |
| 1 |
| a = | 342 |
| 1 |
a = 342
What is the Answer?
a = 342 and b = -254
