4. Example 1 Use the Substitution Method FURNITURE 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? Understand You are asked to find the number of each type of chair sold.

5. Example 1 Use the Substitution Method 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. Plan

6. Example 1 Use the Substitution Method 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.

7. Example 1 Use the Substitution Method Solve Substitute 48 – y for x in the second equation. 265x + 320y =13,930Second equation 265(48 – y) + 320y =13,930Substitute 48 – y for x. 12,720 – 265y + 320y=13,930Distributive Property 55y=1210Simplify. y=22Divide each side by 55.

8. Example 1 Use the Substitution Method Now find the value of x. Substitute the value for y into either equation. x + y =48First equation x + 22 =48Replace y with 22. x=26Subtract 22 from each side. Answer:They sold 26 rocking chairs and 22 Adirondack chairs.

On Sunday, the amusement park made $6405 from selling 330 tickets. How many of each kind of ticket was sold?

12. Example 2 Solve by Using Elimination Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. x + 2y = 10 x + y = 6 In each equation, the coefficient of x is 1. If one equation is subtracted from the other, the variable x will be eliminated. x + 2y=10 (–)x + y= 6 y= 4Subtract the equations.

13. Example 2 Solve by Using Elimination Now find x by substituting 4 for y in either original equation. x + y=6Second equation x + 4=6Replace y with 4. x= 2Subtract 4 from each side. Answer:The solution is (2, 4).

15. Example 3 Read the Test Item You are given a system of two linear equations and are asked to find the solution. Solve the system of equations. 2x + 3y = 12 5x – 2y = 11 A. (2, 3) B. (6, 0) C. (0, 5.5) D. (3, 2)

16. Example 3 x =3x =3 Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 3. Then add the equations to eliminate the y variable. 2x + 3y=124x + 6y=24 Multiply by 2. Multiply by 3. 5x – 2y=11(+)15x – 6y=33 19x =57

17. Example 3 Replace x with 3 and solve for y. 2x + 3y=12First equation 2(3) + 3y=12Replace x with 3. 6 + 3y=12Multiply. 3y=6Subtract 6 from each side. y=2Divide each side by 3. Answer:The solution is (3, 2). The correct answer is D.

19. Example 4 No Solution and Infinite Solutions A. Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. –3x + 5y = 12 6x – 10y = –21 Use multiplication to eliminate x. –3x + 5y=12–6x + 10y= 24 Multiply by 2. 0 = 3 6x – 10y=–21(+)6x – 10y=–21 Answer: Since there are no values of x and y that will make the equation 0 = 3 true, there are no solutions for the system of equations.

20. Example 4 No Solution and Infinite Solutions B. Use the elimination method to solve the system of equations. –3x + 4y = 7 9x – 12y = –21 Use multiplication to eliminate x. –3x + 4y=7–9x + 12y= 21 Multiply by 3. 0 = 0 9x – 12y=–21(+)9x – 12y=–21 Answer: Because the equation 0 = 0 is always true, there are an infinite number of solutions.
