Explain what the solution means. 3x +2y = 8 4x 3y = 5 8. Find the solution to the following system of equations. 4x 2y = 2 3x 3y = 9

6 Directions: Solve each system of equations using the Linear Combinations method. Each problem is worth 3 points. 1. 2a+8b = 2-2a- 4b = 6 2. x + 3y = 18 2x+y = x -4y = -4 3x + 3y = x y = -2 10x 2y = 8

7 Lesson 3: Using Linear Combinations Method Answer Key 1. Which of the following ordered pairs is a solution to the system of equations? 4x +3y = 5 2x 3y = 7 A. (5,7) B. (2, -1) C. (-1,2) D. None of the Above. 4x +3y = 5 We already have opposite terms so we can add! 2x 3y = 7 6x = 12 Step 2: Substitute 2 for x into either equation. 6x = 12 2x 3y = (2) 3y = 7 x= 2 4 3y = y = 7 4 Subtract 4 from both sides -3y = Y = -1 (2,-1) is the solution 2. Use Linear Combinations to find the solution to the following system of equations. 3x +2y = 8 x 2y = 4 3x +2y = 8 We already have opposite terms, so we can add. x 2y = 4 4x = 12 4x = x = 3 Step 2: Substitute 3 for x into either equation. x 2y = 4 3 2y = 4 Substitute 3 for x y = 4 3 Subtract 3 from both sides -2y = 1 Simplify: 4-3 = Y = -1/2 The solution to the system is (3,-1/2)

8 3. Which statement best describes the solution to the following system of equations? 5x y = -2 10x 2y = -4-2[5x y = -2] -10x +2y = 4 We don t have opposite terms, so I multiplied 10x 2y = -4 10x 2y = -4 the first equation by -2, to make the y term 2y = 0 0 = 0 does make sense. After adding the two equations, I am left with 0 = 0. This statement does make sense. Therefore, there is an infinite number of solutions to this system. The lines are equivalent. A. (-2,-4) is the solution. B. There is no solution, the lines are parallel C. There are an infinite number of solutions, they are the same line. D. None of the Above. 4. Solve the following system of equations using linear combinations. x 2y = -10 3x y = 0-3[x 2y = -10] -3x +6y = 30 We did not have terms that were opposites, so I multiplied the 3x y = 0 3x y = 0 first equation by -3 to make the x term, -3x. 5y = 30 Add the equation together and you get 5y = 30. 5y = Solve for y. Divide by 5 on both sides. Y = 6 Step 2: Substitute 6 for y into either equation. 3x y = 0 I chose equation #2 because y didn t have a coefficient. It doesn t matter which equation you choose. You ll end up with the same answer! 3x 6 = 0 3x = 0 +6 Add 6 to both sides. 3x = 6 Simplify: 0 +6 = x = 2 The solution to this system of equations is: (2, 6)

9 5. Which ordered pair is the solution to the following system of equations? 3x +2y = 10 2x +5y = 3 A. (10,3) B. (-1,4) C. (4,-1) D. None of the Above -2[3x +2y = 10] -6x-4y = -20 We don t have opposite terms and we can t multiply one 3[2x +5y = 3] 6x + 15y = 9 equation by a number to create opposite terms. Therefore, we 11y = -11 need to multiply both equations by a number and either make the 11y = -11 x terms opposites (6x and -6x) or make the y terms opposites (10y and -10y. I chose to multiply the first equation by -2 and the second equation by 3 to make the x terms (-6x and 6x). Y = -1 Step 2: Substitute -1 for y into either equation. 2x +5y = 3 2x +5(-1) = 3 2x -5 = 3 2x = x = x = 4 The solution to this system of equations is (4, -1) 6. Describe the graph of the solution for the following system of equations. x 2y = 10 2x 4y = 20-2[x 2y = 10] -2x +4y = -20 I multiplied the first equation by -2 to make opposite terms (-2x & 2x) 2x 4y = 20 2x 4y = 20 0 = 0 Add the equations together. We can t go any further and 0 = 0 is a true statement. Therefore, these two equations are equivalent. They are the same line lying on top of each other. There are an infinite number of solutions to the system of equations.

10 7. Find the solution to the following system of equations. Explain what the solution means. 3x +2y = 8 4x 3y = 5 3[3x +2y = 8] 9x +6y = 24 I multiplied the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2 to 2[4x 3y = 5] 8x 6y = 10 make the y terms opposites (6y & -6y) 17x = 34 17x = 34 Step 2: Substitute 2 for x into either equation x 3y = 5 x = 2 4(2) 3y = 5 8 3y = y = y = y = 1 The solution is (2,1) The solution (2,1) is the point where the two lines will intersect on a graph. It means that (2,1) is a solution for both equations. This is the only solution that both equations have in common. 8. Find the solution to the following system of equations. 4x 2y = 2 3x 3y = 9-3[4x 2y = 2] -12x + 6y = -6 I multiplied the first equation by -3 and the second equation by 2 2[3x 3y = 9] 6x 6y = 18 in order to make the y terms opposites (6y&-6y). -6x = 12-6x = 12 Step 2: Substitute -2 for x into either equation and solve for y x 2y = 2 x = -2 4(-2) 2y = 2 Substitute -2 for x. -8 2y = 2 Simplify: 4(-2) = y = 2 +8 Add 8 to both sides -2y = y = -5 Solution is (-2,-5)

11 Directions: Solve each system of equations using the Linear Combinations method. Each problem is worth 3 points. 1. 2a+8b = 2-2a- 4b = 6 The first terms are already opposites so we can go ahead and add: 2a+8b = 2-2a- 4b = 6 4b = 8 Add the 2 equations. Now solve for b. 4b/4 = 8/4 Divide by 4 on both sides b = 2 b = 2, now we must find a by substituting. 2a + 8b = 2 Choose one of the equation to substitute back into. 2a + 8(2) = 2 Substitute 2 for b. 2a + 16 = 2 Simplify: 8(2) = 16 2a = 2-16 Subtract 16 from both sides 2a = -14 Simplify: 2-16= -14 2a/2 = -14/2 Divide by 2 on both sides a = -7 b = 2 and a = x + 3y = 18 2x+y = 11 These two equations do not have opposite terms, so we must multiply the first equation by -2 to create opposite x terms: (-2x & 2x). (Or you could multiply the second equation by -3 to create opposite y terms: (3y &-3y) -2(x+3y) = (18)-2-2x 6y = -36 Multiply all terms by -2 2x + y = 11 2x + y = 11 Keep the same -5y = -25 Add the equations -5y = -25-5y/-5 = -25 / -5 Divide by -5 on both sides y = 5 y = 5, now solve for x. 2x + y = 11 Use this equation to substitute 5 for y 2x + 5 = 11 Substitute 5 for y 2x = 11-5 Subtract 5 from both sides 2x = 6 Simplify: 11-5 = 6 2x/2 = 6/2 Divide by 2 on both sides x = 3 x = 3 and y =5

12 3. 2x -4y = -4 3x + 3y = 3 We need to create opposites and the only way to do this is to multiply the first equation by -3 and the second equation by 2. This will create opposite x terms: (- 6x and 6x). OR you could create opposite y terms by multiplying the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 4. -3(2x 4y) = -3(-4) -6x + 12y = 12 Multiply by -3 2(3x+3y) = 2(3) 6x + 6y = 6 Multiply by 2 18y = 18 Add the equations 18y = 18 Now we can solve for y. 18y/18 = 18/18 Divide by 18 on both sides. y = 1 y = 1, now we need to solve for x. 3x + 3y = 3 We can use this equation to solve for x. 3x +3(1) = 3 Substitute 1 for y. 3x + 3 = 3 Simplify: 3(1) = 3 3x +3-3= 3-3 Subtract 3 from both sides 3x = 0 Simplify: 3-3 = 0 3x/3 = 0/3 Divide by 3 on both sides x = 0 x = 0 and y = x y = -2 10x 2y = 8 We do not have opposite terms, so we must multiply the first equation by -2 in order to create opposite terms. -2(5x y) = -2(-2) -10x + 2y = 4 Multiply by -2 10x 2y = 8 10x 2y = 8 Keep the same 0 = 12 Add the equations This statement does not make sense, and we do not have a variable to solve for. Since 0 is not equal to 12, we know that there are no solutions to this system of equations. These two lines are parallel and there are no solutions.
