3.2 Solving Systems of Equations Algebraically The Substitution

3.2 Solving Systems of Equations Algebraically
The Substitution Method:
1. Solve one of the equations for one of its variables. (coefficient of one on variable)
2. Substitute this expression into the other equation and solve for the other variable.
3. Substitute the value from #2 above in the revised first equation and solve.
4. Check the solution in each of the original equations.
Solve the following problems by substitution.
Ex. 1
4x − y = 9
x − 3 y = 16
The Elimination Method:
1. Arrange the equations with like terms in columns. Equations should look like standard
form.
2. Obtain coefficients for x (or y) that have matching coefficients with opposite signs. If
none match, multiply one or both to make a match.
3. Add so that the x column or y column is eliminated.
4. Solve for the remaining variable.
5. Substitute the value from #4 above into one of the original equations and solve for the
other variable.
6. The solution should give an ordered pair, all reals, or empty set.
Solve each problem below using elimination.
Ex. 1
5a + 4b = 11
3a − 5b = −23
Ex. 2
5x − 3y = −3
2x + 6y = 0
