Solving an Expression with a Variable in Two Spots

When solving math expressions with two variables, the goal is to find values for the variables that satisfy the given equations. This involves isolating one variable in terms of the other and then substituting that value into the other equation. One common method is substitution, where we solve one equation for one variable and substitute it into the other equation. We illustrated this process with an example system of equations. By isolating x in Equation 1 and substituting it into Equation 2, we obtained a simplified equation. Solving for y, we found y = 3/2. Substituting this value back into Equation 1, we obtained x = 11/4. Hence, the solution to the system of equations is x = 11/4 and y = 3/2, representing the point where the two equations intersect or satisfy the given expressions.
