Systems of Equation Substitution/Elimination and Solutions

Which is the best method to use?

y = 6x − 11

−2x − 3y = −7

• Graphing

• Substitution because a variable is isolated.

• Elimination because both equations are in standard form.

Solve the following systems of equations using substitution:

x = 6

y = 2x - 3

• (6, 6)

• (6, 9)

• (9, 6)

• (9, 9)

Solve by elimination 
-2x + 6y = 16
-4x  - 3y = 2

• (2,2)
• (-2, -2) 
• (-2,2)
• (2,1)

Solve using elimination. 
 4x + 8y = 20
-4x + 2y = -30

• (-7,1)
• (2,-5)
• (-2,5)
• (7,-1)

A consistent system that has infinitely many solutions is

• dependent

• consistent

• independent

• inconsistent

A consistent system that has exactly one solution

• inconsistent

• consistent

• dependent

• independent
