11.

When you solve the system using substitution, you substitute x into the top equation, the substitution would look like....

a)

-6y + 5y = 17

b)

x + 2y + 5y = 17

c)

-5x + 5y = 17

d)

-5y + 17 = 2y

12.
What is the solution to this system?
a)
(1, -1)
b)
(-1, 1)
c)
(0, -2)
d)
(2, 0)
13.

Which answer has a correct first step for this system:

3x + 3y = 3

y = 3x + 5

a)

The variable is already isolated, so we've already solved the system.

b)

The variable is already isolated for y, so we substitute it in the first equation and solve for x

3x + 3(3x + 5) = 3

c)

impossible

d)

The variable is already isolated for y, so we substitute it in the second equation and solve for x

y = 3(3x + 3y) = 3

14.

Solve the system of equations.

a)

(-6, 1)

b)

(0, 0)

c)

(1, -6)

d)

No solution

e)

Infinite solutions
