Solve the following system of equations using substitution: y = 3x - 2 4x + y = 12
You are trying to solve a system of equations where neither equation is initially solved for a single variable. The equations are: 2x + y = 7 x - y = 2 Explain the steps you would take to solve this system using substitution. What would you do first, and why?
