2. Lesson 6.4 WarmUp:
Use substitution to solve the system of equations in #1­2.
1) y = 3x ­2
y = 2x ­ 5
2) x = y ­ 1
­x + y = ­1
Use elimination to solve the system of equations in #3­5.
3) 8x + 5y = 38
­8x + 2y = 4
4) 5m ­ 2p = 24
3m + 2p = 24
5) 6x ­ 2y = 1
10x ­ 2y = 5

3. Lesson 6.4:
*Sometimes we need to multiply one or both of the equations ­ to be able
to use "elimination" for solving the system of equations.
Steps:
­­Multiply at least one equation by a number to get 2 equations
that have opposite terms
­­Add the equations ­ eliminating one variable. Solve for it.
­­Substitute the value from step 2 into one of the equations and
solve for the other variable.
­­Write the solution as an ordered pair.

4. Lesson 6.4 examples:
Use elimination to solve the system of equations.
A) 5x + 6y = ­8
­2x ­ 3y = 5
B) 6x ­ 2y = 10
3x ­ 7y = ­19

5. C) 9x + y = 13
3x + 2y = ­4
D) 4x + 2y = 8
3x + 3y = 9

6. E) 5x ­ 3y = 6
2x + 5y = ­10
F) 6x + 2y = 2
4x + 3y = 8
