In this system

x+3y=9

4x-2y=-6

it'll be easiest to start by solving the first equation for x.

The result of doing so is x=​9-3y.

Fill in the blanks to plug that expression in and solve for y:

4(​ (a)   )-2​ (b)   =-6

36-​ (c)   y-2y=​ (d)  

36-​ (e)   =-6

Put the steps for solving by ELIMINATION in order:

• Subtract the equations to eliminate one variable

• Solve for the remaining variable

• Make sure the equations are lined up

• Plug that number into either original equation and solve for the other variable

• Multiply one or both equations by a number to get common but opposite coefficients

Consider the system:

4x+3y=-1

5x+4y=1

Since we now know that x=-7, solve for y:

4(​ (a)   )+3y=-1

​ (b)   +3y=-1

​ (c)   =​ (d)  

y=​ (e)

Let's solve a system by GRAPHING. Put the steps in order from first to last.

• Graph both lines using the slope and y-intercept

• The intersection point is the solution

• Solve both equations for y to get slope-intercept form
