Mixed Review Substitution and Elimination Methods Long Test # 2 – Sept. 17
Objectives Identify the method appropriate to use in solving a system of linear equations. Answer a Practice Test.
2y – 5x = -1 x = 2y + 5 How to choose what method to use 1. A variable is already isolated on one side of the equation. Substitution
4x - y = 6 8x + y = 24 Elimination by Addition 2. Two variables are on one side and the coefficients of one variable are additive inverses.
Elimination by Subtraction 3. Two variables are on one side and the coefficients of one variable are the same. 4x - 5y = 17 x - 5y = 8
x + y = 4 3x + 4y = Two variables are on one side of the equation & the constant is on the other side. Elimination by multiplication and addition/subtraction
We need to check the value of x and y by substitution into equation (1) and (2). We may substitute the value of the first to ANY of the two equations Addition or Subtraction. By eliminating one variable, we are left with one unknown in one linear equation. By what operation can we eliminate a variable in the given system? How do we find the value of the other variable? How do we know if the value of x and y are correct?
Solve by substitution method.
Solve by Elimination method.
