The substitution method is used to find the set of solutions for the given system of equations. It is the method in which one variable is first solved in the form of another variable.

So, the value of one variable in the form second variable is put on the second equation. It will give the solution of the one variable. And then solve it for another variable.

The given system of equation is:

$y=5x−3$ … (1)

$x+2y=27$ … (2)

Note that in equation (1), variable $y$ is in terms of $x$, therefore, put value of $y$in eq. (2):

role="math" localid="1647507923489" $\begin{array}{l}x+2y=27\\ x+2(5x−3)=27\text{Substitute}y=5x−3\\ x+10x−6+6=27+6\text{Combineliketerms}\\ 11x=33\\ x=3\text{Divideeachsideby}11\end{array}$

Substitute 3 for$x$ into the equation (1) and solve for $y$.

$\begin{array}{c}y=5x−3\\ y=5\left(3\right)−3\\ =15−3\\ =12\end{array}$

The solution is$(3,12)$.
