2
1.Solve one of the equations for one of its variables. 2.Substitute the expression for #1 into the other equation and solve for the other variable. 3.Substitute the value from #2 into the equation from #1 and solve. Substitution Method
3
Solve each system of equations using substitution. Write your answer as an ordered pair. Examples
4
2x + 2x + 3 = 7y = 2(1) + 3 4x + 3 = 7= 2 + 3 4x = 4= 5 x = 1(1, 5)
5
2x + 5(2x) = −12y = 2(−1) 2x + 10x = −12= −2 12x = −12(−1, −2) x = −1
6
2y + 1 + 3y = 11x = 2(2) + 1 5y + 1 = 11= 4 + 1 5y = 10= 5 y = 2(5, 2)
7
2y – (3y – 5) = 10x = 3(−5) – 5 2y – 3y + 5 = 10= −15 – 5 −y + 5 = 10= −20 −y = 5(−20, −5) y = −5

3x – (3x – 7) = 7 3x – 3x + 7 = 7 7 = 7 True Infinitely Many Solutions
10
2(−x + 3) + 2x = 4 −2x + 6 + 2x = 4 6 = 4 False No Solution
11
x – y = –4 x = y – 4 6(y – 4) + 2y = 8x = 4 – 4 6y – 24 + 2y = 8= 0 8y – 24 = 8(0, 4) 8y = 32 y = 4
12
Elimination Method
13
1.Multiply one or both of the equations by a constant to obtain coefficients that differ only in sign for one of the variables. 2.Add the revised equations from #1. Combining like terms will eliminate one of the variables. Solve for the remaining variable. 3.Substitute the value obtained in #2 into either of the original equations and solve for the other variable.
14
Solve each system of equations using elimination. Write your answer as an ordered pair. Examples

Application Problems
24
a) Define the unknowns. b) Set of the system of equations. c) Solve the system of equations. d) Write a sentence to answer the question. Examples
25
1. The perimeter of a rectangular garden is 40 meters. The length of the garden is 1 meter less than twice its width. Find the dimensions. a)Let x = width Let y = length b)
26
2x + 2(2x – 1) = 40 2x + 4x – 2 = 40 6x – 2 = 40 6x = 42The dimension of the x = 7rectangle are 7 meters by y = 2(7) – 1 13 meters. = 14 – 1 = 13
27
2. Six boxes of apples and 5 boxes of grapefruits cost $142. At the same time 3 boxes of apples and 2 boxes of grapefruits cost $64. Find the cost of one box of each. a)Let a = the cost of a box of apples Let g = the cost of a box of grapefruits b)
28
The cost of a box of apples is $12 and the cost of a box of grapefruits is $14. −2 g = 14 3a + 2(14) = 64 3a + 28 = 64 3a = 36 a = 12

3. During a special promotion, Southern Air issued round-trip first-class tickets from Orlando to Dallas at $225, and coach tickets at $198. If 167 tickets were purchased for at total price of $35,172, how many of each ticket were sold. a)Let f = the # of a first-class tickets sold Let c = the # of a coach tickets sold b)
30
78 first-class tickets were sold and 89 coach ticket were sold. 225(167 – c) + 198c = 35,172 37,575 – 225c + 198c = 35,172 37,575 – 27c = 35,172 −27c = −2403 c = 89 f = 167 – 89 = 78
