Solving Systems of Equations by Substitution and Graphing

What is the best method to use?

y = −3x + 5

y = x -1

• Graphing, because they are both in slope-intercept form

• Substitution because a variable is isolated (solved for)

The cost of 5 squash and 2 zucchini is $1.32. Three squash and 1 zucchini cost $0.75. Write a system of equations.

• 5q + 2z = 1.32
  1z = 0.75

• 5q + 2z = 1.32
  3q + 1z = 0.75

• q + z = 1.32
  q + z = 0.75

• 5q + 2z = 0.75
  3q + 1z = 1.32
