Adding the two equations eliminates y, resulting in 2x = 6 so that x = 3. Substituting back into one of the original equations gives y = 2.
Solve the system: 3x + 2y = 12 and x - 2y = 1. What is the solution for (x, y)?
x = 13/4, y = 9/4
x = 13/4, y = 9/8
x = 13/4, y = 8/9
x = 12/4, y = 9/8
Adding the equations cancels the y terms, giving 4x = 13 and thus x = 13/4. Substituting this back into one of the equations yields y = 9/8.
Solve using substitution: y = 2x - 1 and 3x + y = 11. What is the solution for (x, y)?
x = 12/5, y = 17/5
x = 12/5, y = 19/5

x = 3, y = 1
x = 13/4, y = 3/4
First simplify 2(x - y) = 6 to get x - y = 3, which implies x = y + 3. Substitute into the second equation to find y = 1/4 and consequently x = 13/4.
Solve the system: (1/2)x + y = 5 and x - y = 2. What are the values of x and y?
x = 8/3, y = 14/3
x = 12/3, y = 8/3
x = 14/3, y = 6/3
x = 14/3, y = 8/3
Express x from the equation x - y = 2 as x = y + 2, substitute into (1/2)x + y = 5, and solve for y. This leads to the solution x = 14/3 and y = 8/3.

x = 16/13, y = 7/13
x = 7/13, y = -16/13
x = 16/13, y = -7/13
x = -16/13, y = -7/13
First, simplify the equation 4x - 2y = 6 to express y in terms of x and substitute into the second equation. This process yields x = 16/13 and y = -7/13.

x = 1/2, y = 3
Let A = 1/(x + 1) and B = 1/(y + 1) so that the system becomes A + B = 1 and A - B = 1/3. Solving for A and B and then reverting gives x = 1/2 and y = 2.

x = 17/14, y = 53/7
x = 51/7, y = 53/7
Eliminate the decimals by multiplying the equations by appropriate factors and then use elimination to solve the system. This results in x = 51/14 and y = 53/7.

Systems of Equations Quiz & Worksheet Cheat Sheet

  1. Understand the concept of a system of equations - A system of equations is just two or more equations sharing the same variables, and the magic happens when one set of values makes all equations true at once. It's like finding the perfect combo that unlocks a secret level - everything clicks! Play around with simple examples like 2x + y = 8 and x − y = 2 to get the hang of it. Systems of Linear Equations
  2. Learn the substitution method - With substitution, you solve one equation for a variable and then plug that expression into the other equation, saving you from juggling multiple unknowns at once. It's like unwrapping one present at a time so you're not overwhelmed by all the ribbons. Try y = 2x + 3, pop it into 3x − y = 7, and watch x reveal itself! Solving Systems of Equations by Substitution
  3. Master the elimination method - Elimination is all about adding or subtracting equations to cancel out one variable, so you can focus on the other. It's like teamwork: two equations combine forces to knock out a variable and reveal the champion. For instance, add 2x + 3y = 6 and 4x − 3y = 12 to eliminate y and solve for x in a snap! Solving Systems by Addition/Subtraction
  4. Practice solving systems by graphing - Grab graph paper (or your favorite app) and draw each equation as a line; the intersection point is your solution. This visual method helps you see whether lines meet once, never, or overlap completely. It's like finding the exact spot on a treasure map where X marks the deal! Graphing Systems of Equations
  5. Recognize the types of solutions - Systems can have one solution (intersecting lines), no solution (parallel lines), or infinitely many solutions (identical lines). Spotting these patterns early saves you from wasted effort - no more banging your head on a parallel! Knowing the outcome tells you which solving strategy to pick. Types of Solutions
  6. Apply systems of equations to real-world problems - From budgeting your next haul to mixing ingredients perfectly, systems help you juggle multiple constraints like a pro. Translate the story problem into equations, then solve! It feels like cracking a code that turns math into everyday superpowers. Real-World Applications
  7. Understand the role of coefficients and constants - Coefficients shape the slope of your lines while constants shift them up or down. Tweaking these values changes the entire game board, so mastering their effects is like learning the rules to every level. Experiment and watch your graphs dance in real time! Coefficients & Constants
  8. Check your solutions - Don't skip this step: plug your final values back into each original equation to confirm they work perfectly. It's your final boss battle - verify victory or go back for a rematch until you nail it. A solution that checks out is a solution you can trust! Solution Verification
  9. Explore Gaussian elimination for larger systems - When two variables aren't enough, Gaussian elimination uses row operations to simplify big systems into a tidy triangular form. It's like organizing your closet: once everything's in order, finding what you need is a breeze. Perfect for leveling up to three, four, or more variables! Gaussian Elimination
  10. Develop problem-solving strategies - The best mathematicians are like DJs: they mix and match substitution, elimination, or graphing to create the perfect solution beat. Practice choosing the right method based on the system's shape and complexity to become a true equations maestro. Confidence comes with variety! Strategy & Examples
