Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination and Substitution

Solve the system:
3x + y = 19
2x - y = 6

• (5, 14)

• (4, 5)

• (5, 4)

• (14, 5)

Solve the system:
x + y = 19
y = 3x - 1

• (14, 5)

• (11, 8)

• (5, 14)

• (8, 11)

Which method would be best (quickest) for solving the system below:
3x - 4y = -2
y = 2x + 1

• Substitution

• Elimination

• Graphing

• None

Solve the system:
2x - 5y = 12
y = -2

• y = -2

• (11, -2)

• (1, -2)

• no solution

7x - y = -10
-7x + 5y = -6

• (-2, -4)

• (-2, -1)

• (-4, -1)

• (6, -8)

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

Which method would be best (quickest) for solving the system below:
x + y = 11
3x - 4y = -2

• Substitution

• Elimination

• Graphing

• None of these

Solve the system:
x + 6y = 17
x - 3y = 8

• (5, 2)

• (11, 1)

• (1, 11)

• no solution

Solve the system of equations below:

4x+9y=28

-4x-y=-28

• (-7,0)

• (6,0)

• (-6,0)

• (7,0)

What would be the first step in finding the solution with elimination?

• cross out the 3y and -3y

• cross out the 4x and x

• change all the signs of the second equation

• add 1 and -11
