What is the best method do you use?

y = 6x − 11

−2x − 3y = −7

• Graphing

• Substitution because a variable is defined

• Elimination because both equations are in standard form.

What would the first line of work look like if you're solving this system using Substitution?

y = 6x − 11

−2x − 3y = −7

• -2(-11) -3y= -7

• -2(6x-11) -3y = -7

• -2x -3(11) = -7

• -2x - 3(6x-11)= -7

What variable do you eliminate?

4x + 8y = 20

−4x + 2y = −30

What variable would be easier to eliminate, and what do you multiply the equation(s) by?

5x + y = 9

10x − 7y = −18

• You eliminate x, and multiply the top equation by -2

• You eliminate y, and multiply the top equation by 7
