Given the system
y = 2x + 1
3x + y = -9
What should be substitute into the second equation for y?
WARNING - You need to write this down!
3x + y
x
-9
2x + 1

Multiple Choice
After substituting the expression in our new equation is____________.
3x + 2x + 1 = -9
2x + 3 = -9
3x + x = -9
None of these.

Multiple Choice
When solving this system of equations, how will the problem be set up to solve for the first variable?
5x + 4y= −14
y = −7x − 15
5x + 4(-7x - 15) = -14
5(-7x - 15) 4y = -14
-7x - 15 = -14
5x - 7x - 15 = -14

Multiple Choice
What is the next step?
5x + 4(-7x - 15) = -14
add 5 + 4
Distribute 4
subtract -7-15
move the 5 to the other side

Multiple Choice
When solving this system of equation, how will it be set up to solve by substitution?
y = 2x + 1
y = 4x - 1
2(4x - 1) + 1
2x + 1 = 4
2x + 1 = 4x - 1
4(2x + 1) - 1

Multiple Choice
AJ was asked to find the solution to this system of equations.
x = 7 - 2y
2x + y = 5
Noticing that x was isolated and set equal to
7 - 2y, he decided to replace x in the second equation with its value.
What method is AJ using and what equation did he write?
Elimination; 2(7-2y) + y = 5
Graphing; 2x = (7-2y) + y = 5
Substitution; 2(7-2y) + y = 5
Substitution; x = 7 - 2y + 2x + y = 5

Read each step of the Substitution method for solving a System of Equations. Then, match the result of performing the step with the step.
Step 1: Solve one equation's variable (expression)
Step 2: Substitute the expression in the other equation
Step 3: Solve the equation for a value
Step 4: Substitute the variable's value in the other equation; solve
Step 5: Present the solution as an ordered pair
y = 5 - 2x
-3x + 6(5-2x) = 0
x = 2
2(2) + y = 5
y = 1
(2, 1)
y = 5 - 2x
-3x + 6(5-2x) = 0
x = 2
2(2) + y = 5
y = 1

Did she? If so, help her fix it!
The mistake was:
2x+5y=19
y=3x-3
Step 1: plug y=3x-3 in for y
2x+5(3x-3)=19
Step 2: Simplify and solve for x
2x+15x-3=19
17x-3=19
17x=22
x=22/17
Step 3: Plug x in and solve for y
y=3(22/17)-3
y=66/17-3
y=66/17-51/17
y=15/17
