Solve Systems of Linear Equations using a Table Reading

What is the table method used for in solving systems of equations?

• To find the x-values where y-values are the same

• To solve quadratic equations

• To draw graphs of equations

• To find the x-values where y-values are different

In Example 1, what is the solution to the system y = x - 1 and y = -2x + 5?

• (0, 0)

• (1, 2)

• (2, 1)

• (3, 2)

What should you do if the difference between y-values is getting larger?

• Use a different method

• Stop the process

• Change the direction of x-values

• Continue in the same direction

What is the solution to the system y = x + 8 and y = 2x - 4?

• (6, 14)

• (10, 18)

• (12, 20)

• (8, 16)

What happens when the difference between y-values is 0?

• The solution is incorrect

• The y-values are incorrect

• The solution is found

• The x-value is too large

Check your understanding from the passage:

What is the solution to this system? Write the solution as (x,y).
