Solving Systems of Linear Equations Substitution

What is the solution to the system?

• No solution

• (0, 2)

• (0, -4)

• (3, -3)

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 3x + 2y = 315
  2x + 4y = 450

• 3x + 2y = 450
  2x + 4y = 315

• 2x + 2y = 315
  3x + 4y = 450

When using any of the 3 methods to solve a system of linear equations the resulting solution is the same no matter which method is used.

• True; using any method will result in the correct solution.

• False; the solution varies because the solution depends on which method is used.

If one equation is isolated like y = 2x or

x = 7 - 4y then this method should be used.

• Graphing

• Substitution

• Elimination (linear combination)

Solve the system of equations.
y = 4x+1
3x + 2y = 13

• (1, 5)

• (5, 1)

• (0.25, 2)

• ∅

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

• (-2,5)

• (-2,-5)

• (2,-5)

• (2,5)

When solving the system, if you get a result of something like 6 = 6 or -2 = -2 and the answer is:

• No Solution

• Infinitely Many Solutions

• Not possible

What is the solution to this system?

• (-2, -2)

• (2, -2)

• (-2,2)

• (2, 2)

What is the solution to the system of equations? 
y = 3x - 8
y = 4 - x

• (3,1)

• (1,3)

• (-3,1)

• (3,-1)

Solve for x and solve for y
3x  - 3y = 33
6x - 3y = 57

• (8,-3)

• (-3,8)

• (10,1)

• (10,-1)
