  2. Method #1 Graphically POSSIBLE ANSWER: Answer: (x, y) or (x, y, z) Method #2 Algebraically Using Addition and/or Subtraction Answer: No Solution Answer: Identity Method #3 Algebraically Using Substitution

  3. In order to solve a system of equations graphically you typically begin by making sure both equations are in Slope-Intercept form. Where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Examples: y = 3x- 4 y = -2x +6 Slope is 3 and y-intercept is - 4. Slope is -2 and y-intercept is 6.

  4. How to Use Graphs to solve Linear Systems.

  5. Looking at the System Graphs: • If the lines cross once, there • will be one solution. • If the lines are parallel, there • will be no solutions. • If the lines are the same, there • will be an infinite number of solutions.

  6. Check by substitute answers to equations:

  7. In order to solve a system of equations algebraically using addition first you must be sure that both equation are in the same chronological order. Example: Could be

  8. Now select which of the two variables you want to eliminate. For the example below I decided to remove x. The reason I chose to eliminate x is because they are the additive inverse of each other. That means they will cancel when added together.

  9. Now add the two equations together. Your total is: therefore

  10. Now substitute the known value into either one of the original equations. I decided to substitute 3 in for y in the second equation. Now state your solution set always remembering to do so in alphabetical order. [-1,3]

  11. Lets suppose for a moment that the equations are in the same sequential order. However, you notice that neither coefficients are additive inverses of the other. Identify the least common multiple of the coefficient you chose to eliminate. So, the LCM of 2 and 3 in this example would be 6.

  12. Multiply one or both equations by their respective multiples. Be sure to choose numbers that will result in additive inverses. becomes

  13. Now add the two equations together. becomes Therefore

  14. Now substitute the known value into either one of the original equations.

  15. Now state your solution set always remembering to do so in alphabetical order. [-3,3]

  16. In order to solve a system equations algebraically using substitution you must have one variable isolated in one of the equations. In other words you will need to solve for y in terms of x or solve for x in terms of y. In this example it has been done for you in the first equation.

  17. Now lets suppose for a moment that you are given a set of equations like this.. Choosing to isolate yin the first equation the result is :

  18. Now substitute what yequals into the second equation. becomes Better know as Therefore

  19. Lets look at another Systems solve by Substitution

  20. y = 4x 3x + y = -21 Step 5: Check the solution in both equations. 3x + y = -21 3(-3) + (-12) = -21 -9 + (-12) = -21 -21= -21 y = 4x -12 = 4(-3) -12 = -12
