Linear equation variable substitution

Teaching Transcript

🎙️

Solve for 'X' in this linear equation by substituting the second equation into the first

We have 2 'R' in the first equation, and the second equation tells us what 'R' is, so we can make that substitution

Now 2 times 2 'X' is 4 'X', so we have 7 'X' on the left side

So 'X' must be 4

This math skill teaches solving a pair of linear equations by substituting the value of one variable from one equation into the other. This helps isolate and solve for the other variable.
