Solving Linear Systems

System of linear equations/Linear System ­ two equations of linear functions using the same two variable, x and y.  The solution will be an ordered pair (x , y) where x and y make both equations true at the same time.

• If the lines intersect, there will be one solution.  • If the lines are parallel, there will be no solutions.• If the lines are the same, there will be an infinite number of solutions.

Graphing

­ put both equations in slope­intercept form.

­ graph each equation.

­ find where they intersect.

y = 2x ­ 1

x + y = 5

Substitution1. Pick an equation and solve for one variable2. Substitute into the OTHER equation3. Solve for the first variable4. Substitute and solve for the second variable (doesn’t matter which equation)5. Check your solution

*It is best to use the substitution method if the coefficient in front of the x or y is 1*

4x + 5y = 263x = y ­ 9

Elimination1. Place both equations in Standard Form, Ax + By = C.2. Determine which variable to eliminate with Addition or Subtraction.3. Solve for the variable left.4. Go back and use the found variable in step 3 to find second variable.5. Check the solution in both equations of the system.

*Elimination can be used when you do not have a coefficient of 1 in your equations*

5x + 2y = 326x + 6y = 42

Create a system to model the situation, then solve.
