1.

What is the correct first step in solving this system by substitution?

a)

-7(2y+11) - 2y = -13

b)

-7x -2(2y +11) = -13

c)

2y+11-2y = -13

2.

The first step in solving using the substitution method is __________.

a)

get x by itself

b)

get y by itself

c)

get either variable by itself

d)

add the equations together

3.

Which answer has a correct first step for this system:

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)

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
