Solving Systems by Substitution

Objective: Solve systems of equations by substitution

Math Response

Solve: 3x - 7(x - 4) = 24

Correct Answer: 1

Deg^°

Rad

It is simply two or more equations.

On the graph is ...

y = 2x + 1

y = -x + 7

​

To solve a system, you find the point where the lines intersect.

​

On this graph it is (2,5)

​

​SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS (review)

The SOLUTION (2,5) makes each equation true.

Plug in to each equation.

y = 2x + 1

5 = 2(2) + 1

5 = 4 + 1

5 = 5

y = -x + 7

5 = -2 + 7

5 = 5

​EXAMPLE

​Solve the system: 2x - 3y = -1 and y = x - 1

Multiple Choice

When solving the system below, what would the second equation look like after you substitute 4x - 11 for y.

$$y=4x-11$$  and $$-4x+3y=-1$$  

• -4x + 3(4x - 11) = -1

• -4(4x - 11) + 3y = -1

• -4x + 3y = 4x - 11

Math Response

The Next Step, solve for x: $$-4x+3\left(4x-11\right)=-1$$
