1. Solve one equation for one variable in terms of the other.

2. Substitute the expression from step 1 into the other equation.
3. Simplify the resulting equation by combining like terms.
4. Solve for the remaining variable.
5. Use the solution from step 4 to find the value of the other variable.
6. Check the solution by substituting both values into both original equations.

1. Choose one equation to solve for one variable in terms of the other variable.

2. Substitute the expression for the variable into the other equation.
3. Solve the resulting equation for the remaining variable.
4. Substitute the value of the variable back into the equation from step 1 to find the value of the other variable.
5. Write the solution as an ordered pair (x, y).

To solve the system of equations by substitution, the following steps should be taken:

1. Choose one equation and solve for one variable in terms of the other variable.
2. Substitute the expression for the solved variable into the other equation.
3. Solve the resulting equation for the remaining variable.
4. Substitute the value of the solved variable back into one of the original equations to find the value of the other variable.
5. Write the solution as an ordered pair (x, y).
