Solving systems of equations using substitution/eliminationSolving systems of equations by graphing

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define systems

y = x + 1

y = 1/2x + 3

Step 2: Solve for x

Substitute in y:                              x + 1 = 1/2x + 3Subtract 1/2x on both sides:        1/2x + 1 = 3Subtract 1 on both sides:              1/2x = 2Divide both sides by 1/2:              x = 4

Step 3: Solve for y

Define original equation:                   y = x + 1Substitute in x:                                    y = 4 + 1Add:                                                     y = 5

Step 4: Graph

We can confirm our answer.
