How do I use substitution to solve a system of linear equations?

the substitution method is one way to solve linear equation. the substitution method is when substitute the one y value with the other:

example :

x+y=10

y=10-x ( value of y)

2x+y=12 ( substitute the value of y in the equation )

2x+(10-x)=12

2x+10-x=12 ( now solve for x)

x=12-10

x=2 ( substitute the value of x in the equation x+y=10)

x+y=10

2+y=10

y=10-2

y=8
