Solving Systems Using Elimination and Substitution

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 + 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:
x + 6y = 17
x - 3y = 8

• (5, 2)

• (11, 1)

• (1, 11)

• no solution

Solve by elimination:

7x+y=-9

-3x-y=5

• No solution

• (1,8)

• (-1,-3)

• (-1,-2)

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

• y = -2

• (11, -2)

• (1, -2)

• no solution

Christian had brochures printed for a new business venture. Christian originally ordered 4 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of color brochures, which cost a total of $134. After those ran out, Christian spent $120 on 3 boxes of black-and-white brochures and 3 boxes of color brochures. Which system represents this situation?

• x+y=134
  x+y=120

• 3x+3y=134
  4x+3y=120

• 4x+3y=134
  3x+3y=120

• 7xy=134
  6xy=120

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

• 2x + 6(-5x) = -3

• 2x - 5x = -3

• y + 6(-5y) =-3

• 2(-5x) + 6y = -3

Which method would be best (quickest) for solving the system below:

• Substitution

• Elimination

• Graphing

• None of these
