System of Equations • There are three ways to solve a system of equations in two variables: • Graphing • Substitution • Elimination
Solving by Graphing • When graphing a system of equations, the solution is the intersection • 1 solution: 1 intersection • 0 solutions: parallel lines • Infinitely many solutions: lines are identical
Ex • Solve by graphing
Substitution Method • 1) Solve equation 1 for one variable • 2) Substitute equation 1 into equation 2 • 3) Solve for remaining variable • 4) Solve for 2nd variable
Ex • Solve using substitution
Elimination Method • 1) Multiply both equations by constants so that one pair of variables have the same coefficient • 2) Add or subtract equations to eliminate 1 variable • 3) Solve for the remaining variable • 4) Solve for the 2nd variable
Ex • Solve using the elimination method

Applications • When approaching a word problem, and there are 2 different measurements, you want to write one equation for each measurement
Ex • At SnackMix.com, caramel corn worth $2.50 per pound is mixed with honey roasted mixed nuts worth $7.50 per pound in order to be 20 lbs of a mixture worth $4.50 per pound. How much of each snack is used?
Ex • Kerry’s motorboat takes 3 hr to make a downstream trip with a 3mph current. The return trip against the same current takes 5 hr. Find the speed of the boat in still water
Ex • The price and supply of a satellite radio are related by the equation y = 90 + 30x • The price and demand of the radio are related by the equation y = 200 – 25x • The equilibrium point for this product is when both are equal. Find the equilibrium point
Closure • College students spend a total of $819 on textbooks and computer equipment. They spend $183 more on textbooks than on computer equipment. How much do they spend on each one? • HW: p.689 #41-61 odds
