Substitution method for simultaneous equations

Rearrange one eq. for a variable, substitute into other

First step of substitution method

Rearrange one equation to make a single variable the subject

Second step of substitution method

Substitute the expression into the other equation

Equation type often resulting from substitution

Quadratic equation

Step after solving for one variable

Substitute back to find the other variable

When calculator method is valid for quadratics

When full working is not required in the question

Solutions to x2+y2=9x^2 + y^2 = 9, x=y−5x = y - 5

(2,7)(2, 7) and (−1,4)(-1, 4)

Solution to y=2x2−3x−5y = 2x^2 - 3x - 5, 10x+2y+11=010x + 2y + 11 = 0

(- rac{1}{2}, -3)

One solution point for line and curve indicates

The line is a tangent to the curve

Definition of a tangent to a curve

A line that just touches the curve without cutting it
