If we were to do substitution and have a graph of the same system of equations would we get the same solution?
Yes.
Every equation graphs a specific line so no matter how you solve, you get the same solution!
(Graphs are definitely easier, but we don't always have graphed systems!)
Solve the systems of equations using substitution:
y=3x-10
x=2
(2,-4)
What is the first step when solving a system of linear equations using the SUBSTITUTION method?
Isolate the variable
Solve the systems of equations using substitution:
y=2x-10
y=4x+8
(-9,-28)
What is your new (one) equation after performing substitution?
y=2x
3x+y=20
5x=20
Solve the systems of equations using substitution:
y = -2x - 9
3x -6y = 9
(-3, -3)
How would you isolate x in this equation?
6y+x=20
subtract 6x from both sides to get:
x=20-6x
Solve the systems of equations using substitution:
2x - y = 6
x = y + 5
(1, -4)
Use the substitution method to solve the system of linear equations:
y=2x
3x+y=20
Solution: (4,8)
Use the Elimination method to solve the system of linear equations:
−8x − 10y = 24
6x + 5y = 2
