Identify equation: Identify the first equation in the system.The first equation is 2+y=11. We need to solve for y.
Isolate variable: Isolate the variable y in the first equation.To isolate y, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation.2+y−2=11−2y=9
Check solution: Check the solution by substituting the value of y back into the first equation.2+9=1111=11The left side of the equation equals the right side, which means our solution for y is correct.
