Essential Question Big Idea: Solving Equations and Inequalities When can you use substitution to solve a system?
5
The graph shows a system of linear equations. As you can see, without the use of technology, determining the solution from the graph is not easy. You can use the substitution method to find an exact solution. Substitution Method
6
Substitution is normally used when you know one of the variables in terms of the other variable (y = 2x + 3) or the coefficient of one of the variables is one so you can easily solve for it in terms of the other variable (3y – x = 4). Substitution is then used to reduce the system to one equation that has only one variable. Then you can solve this equation for the one variable and substitute again to find the other variable.
7
Solving Systems of Equations by Substitution Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 1 Solve for one variable in at least one equation, if necessary. Substitute the resulting expression into the other equation. Solve that equation to get the value of the first variable. Substitute that value into one of the original equations and solve for the other variable. Write the values from steps 3 and 4 as an ordered pair, (x, y), and check. Substitution Method
8
Solve the system by substitution. y = 3x y = x – 2 Step 1 y = 3x y = x – 2 Both equations are solved for y. Step 2 y = x – 2 3x = x – 2 Substitute 3x for y in the second equation. Now solve this equation for x. Subtract x from both sides and then divide by 2. Step 3–x 2x = –2 2 x = –1 Example: Substitution Use substitution because you know the variable y in terms of the variable x.
9
Solve the system by substitution. Step 4y = 3x Write one of the original equations. Substitute –1 for x. y = 3( – 1) y = –3 Step 5 ( – 1, –3) Check Substitute (–1, –3) into both equations in the system. Write the solution as an ordered pair. y = 3x –3 3(–1) –3 y = x – 2 –3 –1 – 2 –3 –3 Example: Continued
10
5.1 - 10 Example: Solve the system. (1) (2) Solution Begin by solving one of the equations for one of the variables. We solve equation (2) for y. (2) Add x. Use substitution because the coefficient of y is one.
11
5.1 - 11 Example: Now replace y with x + 3 in equation (1), and solve for x. (1) Let y = x + 3 in (1). Note the careful use of parentheses. Distributive property Combine terms. Subtract.
12
5.1 - 12 Replace x with 1 in equation (3) to obtain y = 1 + 3 = 4. The solution of the system is the ordered pair (1, 4). Check this solution in both equations (1) and (2). Example: (1) Check: (2) ? True ? Both check; the solution set is {(1, 4)}.
13
You can substitute the value of one variable into either of the original equations to find the value of the other variable. Helpful Hint
14
Solve the system by substitution. x + 2y = –1 x – y = 5 Step 1 x + 2y = –1 Solve the first equation for x by subtracting 2y from both sides. Step 2 x – y = 5 (–2y – 1) – y = 5 Substitute – 2y – 1 for x in the second equation. –3y – 1 = 5 Simplify. −2y x = –2y – 1 Example: Substitution Use substitution because the coefficient of x is one. Note the careful use of parentheses.
15
Step 3 –3y – 1 = 5 Add 1 to both sides. +1 –3y = 6 –3 y = –2 Solve for y. Divide both sides by –3. Step 4 x – y = 5 x – (–2) = 5 x + 2 = 5 –2 –2 x = 3 Step 5 (3, –2) Write one of the original equations. Substitute –2 for y. Subtract 2 from both sides. Write the solution as an ordered pair. Example: Continued
16
When you solve one equation for a variable, you must substitute the value or expression into the other original equation, not the one that had just been solved. You have to use both equations. Caution
17
y + 6x = 11 3x + 2y = –5 Solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y by subtracting 6x from each side. Step 1 y + 6x = 11 – 6x y = –6x + 11 Substitute –6x + 11 for y in the second equation. Distribute 2 to the expression in parentheses. 3x + 2(–6x + 11) = –5 3x + 2y = –5Step 2 3x + 2(–6x + 11) = –5 Example: Use substitution because the coefficient of y is one.
18
Step 3 3x + 2(–6x) + 2(11) = –5 –9x + 22 = –5 Simplify. Solve for x. Subtract 22 from both sides. –9x = –27 – 22 –22 Divide both sides by – 9. –9x = –27 –9 x = 3 3x – 12x + 22 = –5 3x + 2(–6x + 11) = –5 Continued

22
Solve the system by substitution. x = 2y – 4 x + 8y = 16 The first equation is solved for x. Step 1 x = 2y – 4 Substitute 2y – 4 for x in the second equation. Simplify. Then solve for y. (2y – 4) + 8y = 16 x + 8y = 16Step 2 Step 310y – 4 = 16 Add 4 to both sides. +4 10y = 20 y = 2 10y 20 10 = Divide both sides by 10. Your Turn:
23
Step 4 x + 8y = 16 Write one of the original equations. Substitute 2 for y. x + 8(2) = 16 x + 16 = 16 x = 0 – 16 –16 Simplify. Subtract 16 from both sides. Step 5 (0, 2) Write the solution as an ordered pair. Continued
24

25
Combine like terms. Step 3 +14 –y = 10 –2y – 14 + y = –4 Add 14 to each side. –y – 14 = –4 y = –10 Step 4 x + y = –7 Write one of the original equations. Substitute –10 for y. x + (–10) = –7 x – 10 = – 7 Continued

x – 10 = –7Step 5 +10 x = 3 Add 10 to both sides. Step 6(3, –10) Write the solution as an ordered pair. Continued
27
–2x + y = 8 3x + 2y = 9 Solve by substitution. Solve the first equation for y by adding 2x to each side. Step 1 –2x + y = 8 + 2x +2x y = 2x + 8 Substitute 2x + 8 for y in the second equation. 3x + 2(2x + 8) = 9 3x + 2y = 9Step 2 Distribute 2 to the expression in parentheses. 3x + 2(2x + 8) = 9 Your Turn:
28

Example: Application Lancaster Woodworkers Furniture Store builds two types of wooden outdoor chairs. A rocking chair sells for $265 and an Adirondack chair with footstool sells for $320. The books show that last month, the business earned $13,930 for the 48 outdoor chairs sold. How many of each chair were sold? Step 1 You are asked to find the number of each type of chair sold.
34
Example: continued Define variables and write the system of equations. Let x represent the number of rocking chairs sold and y represent the number of Adirondack chairs sold. x + y =48The total number of chairs sold was 48. 265x + 320y =13,930The total amount earned was $13,930. Step 2
35
Solve one of the equations for one of the variables in terms of the other. Since the coefficient of x is 1, solve the first equation for x in terms of y. x + y =48First equation x=48 – ySubtract y from each side. Example: continued Step 3

Essential Question Big Idea: Solving Equations and Inequalities When can you use substitution to solve a system? Use substitution when one of the equations in the system is already solved for one of the variables. You can also use substitution when it is easy to isolate a variable in one of the equations.
