Mr. Sutz Trivia
100

Solve the systems of equations using substitution:

-3x + 4y = -2

y = -5

(-6, -5)

100

Solve the systems of equations using Elimination:

14x + 2y = 26

-14x - 6y = -50

(1, 6)

100

What strategy would you use?

14x + 2y = 26

-14x - 6y = -50

elimination because the coefficients of x will cancel out.

100

Where is Mr. Sutz from?

New York aka

200

Solve the systems of equations using substitution:

-5x - 5y = 10

y = -4x -17

(-5, 3)

200

Solve the systems of equations using Elimination:

-3x - 5y = 2

3x + 5y = 7

No Solution

200

What strategy would you use?

-5x - 5y = 10

y = -4x -17

substitution because y is already solved for.

200

Does Mr. Sutz have a girlfriend?

Yes

300

Solve the systems of equations using substitution:

y = -2x - 9

3x -6y = 9

(-3, -3)

300

Solve the systems of equations using Elimination:

-6x - 10y = 4

6x + 10y = -4

Infinitely Many

300

Is there 1 solution, No solution, or Infinite solutions for the system of linear equations below? AND JUSTIFY WHY

3x - y = 19

-3x + y = 10

No Solutions because it is a false statement.

300

Does Mr. Sutz drink Coffee?

Yes

400

Solve the systems of equations using substitution:

-8x - 5y = -24

-x + y = 10

(-2, 8)

400

Solve the systems of equations using Elimination:

x + 8y = 2

3x + 4y = 26

(10,-1)

400

Mathematically, what will our answer look like if we determine there is no solution?

4 = 2 (Any two numbers that are not equal to each other with no variables)

400

Does Mr. Sutz go white water rafting?

Yes

500

Solve the systems of equations using substitution:

-8x + y = -7

16x - 2y = 14

Infinitely Many Solutions

500

Solve the systems of equations using Elimination:

-5x + 7y = -7

-2x - 2y = 2

(0, -1)

500

What is the first step in solving this system of equations by elimination?

3x +2y = 10 

x + 7y = -15

Multiply the bottom equation by -3
