how much does each item cost?

$3.50
fries = $1.50
burger= $1

$7.50
Goal:
Use substitution to solve a system of linear
equations.
What does it mean to...
"solve a system of linear equations?"
answer: find the solution(s)

y = 4x - 4

y = -2x + 8
the point that is a solution to both lines in the point of intersection, (2,4)
Figure out the solution by using the
guess and check method!
System of equations:

2x + y = 20
x + y = 16
the only point that is true for both equations is (4.12)

How to subsitute
System of equations:

3x - 4y = 17
x = 2y + 5

substitute
find y:
SMOTD
3(2y + 5) - 4y = 17
6y + 15 - 4y = 17
2y + 15 = 17
2y = 2
y=1

find x:
x = 2y + 5
x = 2(1) + 5
x=2+5
x=7

answer: (7,1)
How to substitute

SMOTD

Isolate one variable and substitute into...

Equation

ivse-solvse

Equation

eev-say-sol-vee-say

Solve for unknown variable and substitute into...
System of equations: One solution (ordered pair)

3x = 2y - 6
x - y = -1
3(y-1) = 2y - 6
3y - 3 = 2y - 6

3x = 2y - 6

y - 3 = -6

3x = 2(-3) - 6

y = -3

3x = -6 - 6
3x = -12

answer:
(-4,-3)

x = -4
System of equations: No Solution (false statement)

8x - 4y = 6
2x - y = 9
8x - 4y = 6
8x - 4(2x-9) = 9
8x - 8x + 36 = 9
36 = 9
FALSE STATEMENT- no solution
System of equations: Infinitely Many (identity)

3y - 6x = 24
8 + 2x = y
3(8 + 2x) - 6x = 24
24 + 6x - 6x = 24
24 + 0 = 24
24 = 24
IDENTITY- infinitely many solutions
