We want to use substitution to solve the following system:

y=2x+5

3x+2y=10

Should we substitute for x or y?


y

Write an exponential equation given the following information:

Points at (0,9) and (1,81)

y=9(9x)

200

Name the best method to find the intersection point for the following system. Explain why.

x=2y-6

2x+6y=12

Substitution, One equation is x=, we can use that to substitute in for x.

200

We want to use equal values to solve the following system:

y=10x+12

2y=50x+40

What would be the first step to do this?

Divide by 2 on the bottom equation to get y by itself.

Solve the following system of equations:

3x+2y=12

2x-y=15

Write your answer as an ordered pair!

At a restaurant the cost for a breakfast taco and a small glass of milk is $2.10. The cost for 2 tacos and 3 small glasses of milk is $5.15. Which pair of equations can be used to determine t, the cost of a taco, and m, the cost of a small glass of milk? (DO NOT SOLVE)

t+m = 2.10

2t+3m = 5.15

Write an exponential equation given the following information:

Points at (1,12) and (2,48)

y=3(4x)

300

Name the best method to find the intersection point for the following system. Explain why.

2y+3x=10
-3x-5y=30

Elimination, If you add the systems, x will be eliminated.

300

We want to use elimination to solve the following system:

3x+2y=7

2x-10y=13

What be the first step to doing this?

Multiply the top equation by 5 so we can eliminate y.

400

Given the system of inequalities: 

y≤x+2

y> 2x-3

Explain whether each line would be solid or dashed and whether you would shade above or below.

y≤x+2: Solid, shade below

y> 2x-3: Dashed, shade above

400

x=4+2y

y=12x+4

Substitution, You can substitute for either x or y because both equations are in x= or y= form. 

400

We want to use elimination to solve the following system:

-2x+2y=10

x-8y=40

There are multiple ways to start. Name two of them.

Multiply the top equation by 4 so y is eliminated. Multiply the bottom equation by 2 so x is eliminated.
