Warm-Up: October 18, 2011 • Which equation is inconsistent with 4x+5y=30? C
Solving Systems of Equations Algebraically Section 3-2
Solving by Substitution • Solve one equation for one variable • Substitute this expression into the other equation • Solve for the remaining variable • Substitute variable value into equation from step 1 and evaluate to get the other variable • Check your answer
Example 1 • Solve by substitution
You-Try #1 • Solve by substitution
Solving by Elimination • Arrange each equation in standard form, Ax + By = C • Multiply one or both equations by a number so the coefficients of one variable are opposite (one positive, one negative). • Add the two equations together. This will eliminate one variable. • Solve the resulting equation for the remaining variable. • Substitute this value into either equation to solve for the other variable. • Check your answer.
Example 2 • Solve by elimination
You-Try #2 • Solve by elimination
Warm-Up: October 19, 2011 • Solve by any method
No Solutions or Infinite Solutions • If both variables are eliminated, then there is either zero or infinite solutions. • If the resulting equation is true (0 = 0), then there are infinitely many solutions. • If the resulting equation is false (0 = 4 or 5 = -3, etc.) then there are no solutions.
