Solve Systems of Linear Equations with a Table Reading

What is the table method used for in solving systems of equations?

• To find the x-value where the y-values are the same.

• To find the x-values where the y-values are different

• To draw graphs of quadratic equations

• To solve equations without using any values

In Example 1, what is the solution to the system y = x - 1 and y = -2x + 5?

• (0, 0)

• (1, 2)

• (2, 1)

• (3, 2)

What should you do if the difference between y-values is getting larger?

• Stop the process

• Change the direction of x-values

• Use a different method

• Continue in the same direction

What is the solution to the system y = x + 8 and y = 2x - 4?

• (2, 4)

• (0, 0)

• (4, 8)

• (12, 20)

What is the benefit of using a graph with the table method?

• It guarantees an exact solution

• It eliminates the need for calculations

• It provides an approximate location of the intersection

• It makes the process faster

This is a new system, not in the reading. What is the solution? Write your solution as (x,y).
