Solving Systems of Equations Using Substitution Method

Which is the best method to use?

• Graphing

• Substitution because a variable is isolated.

• Elimination because both equations are in standard form.

x = -3y - 8

x - 2y = -3

The above System is CURRENTLY setup to solve by:

• Substitution

• Elimination

• Graphing, Not Graphing...

  (aka Picturing the Graph)

  (aka Using graphing skills but not actually graphing)

Should you use the Substitution or Elimination method to solve this system of equations?

• Substitution

Solve for x and y.
y = 2/3x - 2
y = -x + 3

• (0,3)

• (0,-3)

• (3,0)

• (-3,0)

How many solutions will this system have? 

• No solution

• One Solution

• I Don't Know

• Infinitely Many Solutions

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 + y = 19
y = 3x - 1

• (14, 5)

• (11, 8)

• (5, 14)

• (8, 11)

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

• (5, 14)

• (4, 5)

• (5, 4)

• (14, 5)
