Solving Systems Using Matrices

The solution to a system of equations is any ordered pair that makes both equations true. 

• TRUE
• FALSE

Solve the system given:
3x - y = 7
2x + y = 3

• (-1,2)
• (5,4)
• (4,5)
• (2,-1)

Solve the system:

x+ 3y = 9

2x+ y = −2

• (3,2)

• (-2, 2)

• (3, -4)

• (-3, 4)

• (0.5, -3)

Solve by matrices.

4x+9y=28

-4x-y=-28

• (-7,0)

• (6,0)

• (-6,0)

• (7,0)

Solve by matrices.

7x+y=-9

-3x-y=5

• No solution

• (1,8)

• (-2,-3)

• (-1,-2)

3x + y = –14

–2x – y = 9

Which method would be best for solving this system?

• Substitution

• Elimination/Matrices

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 for x and y
3x + 2y = 16
7x + y = 19

• (-2,5)
• (-2,-5)
• (2,-5)
• (2,5)

What is the value of the y-coordinate of the solution to the system of equations 
x-2y=1
x+4y=7 

• 1
• -1
• 3
• 4

Solve the system using matrices
x + 2y = 2
5x - 6y = - 54

• (-6, 4)
• (-8, 4)
• (8, 4)
• (6, 4)
