1 Name Class Date 5 Solving Special Sstems Going Deeper Essential question: How do ou solve sstems with no or infinitel man solutions? 1 A-REI.3.6 EXAMPLE Solving Special Sstems b Graphing Use the graph to solve each sstem of linear equations. 3 - = 1 A { + = 7 + = 6 Is there a point of intersection? Eplain. + = 3 + = = 7 Does this linear sstem have a solution? Use the graph to eplain B { + = 6 + = 3 Is there a point of intersection? Eplain. Does this linear sstem have a solution? Use the graph to eplain. REFLECT 1a. Use the graph to identif two lines that represent a linear sstem with eactl one solution. What are the equations of the lines? Eplain our reasoning. 1b. If each equation in a sstem of two linear equations is represented b a different line when graphed, what is the greatest number of solutions the sstem can have? Eplain our reasoning. Chapter 5 91 Lesson

2 1c. Identif the three possible numbers of solutions for a sstem of linear equations. Eplain when each tpe of solution occurs. A-REI.3.6 EXAMPLE Solving Special Sstems Algebraicall A Solve the sstem of linear equations b substitution. { - = = Step 1 Solve - = - for : = Step Substitute the resulting epression into the other equation and solve. -( ) + = Substitute the epression for the variable. 8 = Simplif. Step 3 Interpret the solution. Graph the equations to provide more information. What does the graph tell ou about the solution? How is this solution represented algebraicall when the sstem is solved using substitution? B Solve the sstem of linear equations b elimination. { + = - + = Step 1 Multipl the first equation b -. -( + = -) + (-) = Step Add the new equation from Step 1 to the original second equation. + (-) = + + = = 0 0 = 0 Chapter 5 9 Lesson

3 Step 3 Interpret the solution. Graph the equations to provide more information. What does the graph tell ou about the solution? How is this solution represented algebraicall when the linear sstem is solved using substitution? -6 REFLECT a. If represents a variable and a and b represent constants such that a b, interpret what each result means when solving a sstem of linear equations b substitution. = a a = b a = a b. In part B of Eample, wh is it more efficient to solve and substitute for than to solve and substitute for? c. Give two possible solutions of the sstem in part B of Eample. How are all the solutions of this sstem related to one another? PRACTICE Solve each sstem b graphing. Check our answer. 1. { + = - - = { - = -6 - = Chapter 5 93 Lesson

4 Solve each sstem b substitution. Check our answer. 3. { - = 5 - = 9. { - = = + 8 Tell whether it is more efficient to solve for and then substitute for or to solve for and then substitute for. Eplain our reasoning. Then solve the sstem. 5. { _ + = 6 + = 3 Solve each sstem b adding or subtracting. Check our answer. 6. { + = -3 - = - 7. { - 6 = = If a linear sstem has no solution, what happens when ou tr to solve the sstem b adding or subtracting? 9. If a linear sstem has infinitel man solutions, what happens when ou tr to solve the sstem b adding or subtracting? Solve each sstem b multipling. Check our answer. 10. { + 3 = = { 3 - = = 3 Chapter 5 9 Lesson

She had read 36 pages when Lou started the book, and Lou reads at a pace of 15 pages per da. If their reading rates continue, will Sabina and Lou ever be reading the same page on the same da? Eplain. 8. Brandon started jogging at miles per hour. After he jogged 1 mile, his friend Anton started jogging along the same path at a pace of miles per hour. If the continue to jog at the same rate, will Anton ever catch up with Brandon? Eplain. Chapter 5 95 Lesson

6 Problem Solving Write the correct answer. 1. Tra and Charmian are training for a bike race. Tra has logged 56 miles so far and rides 8 miles per week. Charmian has logged 15 miles so far and rides 8 miles per week. If these rates continue, will Tra s distance ever equal Charmian s distance? Eplain. 3. The Singhs start savings accounts for their twin bos. The accounts earn 5% annual interest. The initial deposit in each account is $00. Classif this sstem and find its solution, if an..
