Identify which method for solving systems is being described by this fact:

If one equation is isolated like y = 2x or

x = 7 - 4y then this method should be used.

Identify which method for solving systems is being described by this fact:

Use an isolated variable and plug that expression into the second equation in order to solve for the other variable. Plug that value back into the original isolated equation to solve for the second variable.

Identify which method for solving systems is being described by this fact:

When the lines are intersecting at every point because they coincide and are the exact same line the solution is Infinite Solutions.

• Graphing

• Substitution

• Elimination (adding or multiplying)

When using any of the 3 methods to solve a system of linear equations the resulting solution is the same no matter which method is used.

• True; using any method will result in the correct solution.

• False; the solution varies because the solution depends on which method is used.
