After Question 2
How did we solve Problem 2? What were strategies you used? Was this problem harder to solve than for Problem 1? What made it harder? What were some equations that you wrote? How can we check that they were right?

After Questions 3 and 4

What equations did we come up with? How can we solve these equations? What methods did we use when looking at the pictures? What methods did we use when looking at the equations? Were they the same methods or different?

What did you discover? How will this help us moving for ward when trying to solve systems with t wo variables? Did you find this lesson helpful? What would you change?

Steps:

Substitution

1. Take one equation and isolate one of the variables. Hint: If possible, isolate variable with coefficient of 1 or -1. 2. Plug this new equation in for the variable in the other equation (SUBSTITUTION!) 3. Solve for the only remaining variable 4. Once you have solved for this variable, solve for the other variable. 5. Check your answers by plugging them into the t wo equations.

Examples
How do we solve for x and y using substitution? 1. 2x+y=6 3x-2y=16 2. 4x-2y=12 2x-3y=2

Answer to #1
1. 2x+y=6 3x-2y=16 Step 1: y=6-2x Step 2: 3x-2(6-2x)=16 Step 3: 3x-12+4x=16 7x-12=26 7x=28 --> x=4

Answer to #1 (continued)
x=4 Step 4: y=6-2x y=6-2(4) y=6-8 --> y=-2 Step 5: 2(4)+(-2)=8-2=6 CHECK! 3(4)-2(-2)=12+4=16 CHECK!
