What will the first step look like in a substitution problem?

y=2x
x+y=9

x + 2x = 9

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are using substitution, we must replace one variable in 1 equation as the 2nd equation.

We are given:

y = 2x

x + y = 9

Here we see that y equals 2x. We can go ahead and replace in the 2nd equation y.

x + 2x = 9

And we would solve from there.

an

y = 6x -3y -12

y +3y +12 = 6x

=> . x = { 2y / 3 +2 } this is equation of line in terms of x

=> . if line meets the x-axis the co-ordinates of meeting point would be ( x , 0 )

=> . x = 2 ( 0 ) / 3 + 2

=> . x = 2

so, the point is ( 2 , 0 )

answer is  

a.
