Use the substitution method to solve:

x + 2y = 22

2x + y = 28

Check Format

Equation 1 is in the correct format.

Check Format

Equation 2 is in the correct format.

Rearrange Equation 2 to solve for x:

2x + y = 28

Subtract y from both sides to isolate x:

2x + y - y = 28 - y

2x = 28 - y

Plug Revised Equation 2 value into x:

1(x) + 2y = 22

1 * (28 - y) + 2y = 22

((28 - 1y)/2) + 2y = 22

Multiply equation 1 through by 2

2 * (((28 - 1y)/2) + 2y = 22)

28 - 1y + 4y = 44

Group like terms:

-1y + 4y = 44 - 28

3y = 16

Divide each side by 3

y =	16
	3

y = 5.3333333333333

Plug this answer into Equation 1

1x + 2(5.3333333333333) = 22

1x + 10.666666666667 = 22

1x = 22 - 10.666666666667

1x = 11.333333333333

Divide each side by 1

11.333333333333

x =	11.333333333333
	1

x = 11.333333333333

What is the Answer?

x = 11.333333333333 and y = 5.3333333333333
