3.2 Solving Systems Algebraically
State Standard – 2.0 Students solve systems of linear equations and
inequalities (in two or three variables) by substitution, linear combination,
with graphs, or with matrices.
The Substitution Method
1) Solve one of the equations for a variable.
2) Substitute step 1 into the other equation.
3) Solve for the variable
4) Substitute the value in Step 2 into one of the original
equations to get the other variable
Extra Example 1
Solve using the Substitution method:
x – 2y = 3
3(2y + 3) + 2y = 1
3x + 2y = 1
6y + 9 + 2y = 1
8y + 9 = 1

8y = -8
x = 2y + 3
y = -1
( 1 , -1 )
x –2(-1) = 3
x+2=3
x=1
3.2 Solving Systems Algebraically
The Elimination Method
1) Multiply one or both of the equations by a constant.
2) Add the revised equations in order to eliminate one
of the variables.
3) Substitute the value in Step 2 into one of the original
equations to get the other variable
Extra Example 3a
Solve using the Elimination method:
2x – 4y = 13
4x – 5y = 8
2x – 4(-6) = 13
-2(2x – 4y = 13 )
4x – 5y = 8
-4x + 8y = -26
4x – 5y = 8
3y = -18
y = -6
2x + 24 = 13
- 24 -24
(

, -6 )
2x = -11
x = -11

Extra Example 3b
Solve using the Linear Combination method:
2x + 3y = -1
-5x + 5y = 15
2x + 3 (1) = -1
5( 2x + 3y = -1)
2(-5x + 5y = 15 )
10x + 15y = -5
-10x + 10y = 30
25y = 25
y=1
2x + 3 = -1
- 3 -3
( -2 , 1 )
2x = -4
x = -2
If you get the variables to cancel and you
get:
0=0
You will have:
Infinitely many solutions
If you get the variables to cancel and you
get:
0 = (some #)
You will have:
No solutions
Example 3
A caterer is planning a party for 64 people. The customer
has $150 to spend. A $39 pan of pasta feeds 14 people
and a $12 sandwich tray feeds 6 people. How many pans
of pasta and how many sandwich trays should the caterer
make?
14(2)+ 6s = 64
-2( 14p + 6s = 64)
39p + 12s = 150
-28p – 12s = -128
39p + 12s = 150
11p
28 + 6s = 64
- 28
-28
6s = 36
s=6
= 22
p=2
The caterer should make 2 pans of
pasta and 6 trays of sandwiches.
Guided Practice
6x + 6y = 3
x – 6y = 6
4x + 4y = 2
-3x + 2y = -2
-5x + 7y = 10
3x – 3y = 3
15x – 21y = 22
-4x + y = 21
-2x + y = 13
-4x + 8y = 24
x – 4y = -31
-x + 2y = 6
