Solving Systems of Equations Using Elimination

Which method would be the best/easiest method to solve the system of equations.

• Substitution Method

• Elimination Method

• Isolation Method

• It is not easy

Solve the system of equations.

-x + y = -13

-8x - 4y = -8

• (5, 8)

• (5, -8)

• (-5, -18)

• (-5, 8)

Solve the system of equations.

3x + 2y = 16

7x + y = 19

• (-2,5)

• (-2,-5)

• (2,-5)

• (2,5)

Solve the system of equations.

5x + 2y = 15

-5x + 2y = 5

• (1, - 3)

• (5, - 1)

• (1, 5)

• (-3, 5)

What is the solution to the system of equations graphed?

• (0, 3)

• (1, -1)

• (-3, 1)

• (1, 3)

Solve the system of equations.

x + 6y = 1

3x - 2y = 3

• (1, 0)

• (-1, 0)

• (0, 1)

• (0, -1)

• (1, 1)

Solve the system of equations.

• (3, -1)

• (-1, -3)

• (-1, -1)

• (-1, 3)

Solve the system of equations.

• (5, 4)

• (4, 5)

• (-3, -12)

• (5, 16)

What is the best method to use?

−4x − 2y = −12

4x + 8y = −24

• Graphing because both equations are in slope-intercept form.

• Substitution because a variable is defined

• Elimination because the equations are in standard form.

• Any method would be equally as "easy"

What is the proper way to set up the equation to begin solving?

y = 6x − 11

−2x − 3y = −7

• -2(-11) -3y= -7

• -2(6x-11) -3y = -7

• -2x -3(11) = -7

• -2x - 3(6x-11)= -7
