Solving Systems of Equations

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 is the best method to use?

2x − 3y = −1

y =x − 1

• Graphing

• Substitution because a variable is defined

• Elimination because the equations are in standard form.

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

What variable do you eliminate?

4x + 8y = 20

−4x + 2y = −30

• X because they have opposite signs

• Y because they have opposite signs

What is the proper set up to solve the equation?

-7x -2y= -13

x = 2y+11

• -7(11) -2y = -13

• -7(2y +11)-2y = -13

• -7x -2(11) =-13

• -7x - 2(2y+11)= -13
