{ y = − 2 3 ​ x − 4 y = − 2 1 ​ x + 1 ​ { y = − 2 3 ​ x − 4 − 2 3 ​ x − 4 = − 2 1 ​ x + 1 ​ { y = − 2 3 ​ x − 4 − 2 3 ​ x + 2 1 ​ x = 1 + 4 ​ { y = − 2 3 ​ x − 4 − 2 2 ​ x = 5 ​
{ y = − 2 3 ​ x − 4 − x = 5/ ∗ ( − 1 ) ​ { y = − 2 3 ​ ∗ ( − 5 ) − 4 x = − 5 ​ { y = 2 15 ​ − 4 x = − 5 ​ { y = 7 2 1 ​ − 4 x = − 5 ​ { y = 3 2 1 ​ x = − 5 ​

To solve the equations y = − 2 3 ​ x − 4 and y = − 2 1 ​ x + 1 by substitution, we set them equal to each other and found that x = − 5 . Substituting this back into either original equation gives y = 2 7 ​ , leading to the solution ( x , y ) = ( − 5 , 2 7 ​ ) .
