    7.1: Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables

    Warm-up:

    ADAPT \(\PageIndex{1}\)

    ADAPT \(\PageIndex{1}\)

    ADAPT \(\PageIndex{1}\)

    1. Solve the following system of equations using substitution. Then solve it using elimination. Then solve it system graphically using Desmos.

    \[
    \left\{\begin{array}{l}
    3 x+y=9 \\
    -2 x+y=4
    \end{array}\right.
    \]

     

     

     

     

     

    2. Solve the following systems of equations using elimination:

    (a)

    \[
    \left\{\begin{array}{l}
    -4 R-7 T=14 \\
    3 R+14 T=2
    \end{array}\right.
    \]

     

     

     

     

     

    (b)

    \[
    \left\{\begin{array}{l}
    6 x+5 y=12 \\
    2 x-7 y=6
    \end{array}\right.
    \]

     

     

     

     

     


    3. Solve the following systems of equations using substitution:

    (a)

    \[
    \left\{\begin{array}{l}
    2 x+6 y=8 \\
    x-7 y=14
    \end{array}\right.
    \]

     

     

     

     

     

    (b)

    \[
    \left\{\begin{array}{l}
    2 A-4 B=10 \\
    4 A+5 B=-6
    \end{array}\right.
    \]

     

     

     

     

     

    4. Solve the following system of equations graphically:

    \[
    \left\{\begin{array}{l}
    3 x+6 y=18 \\
    -x+2 y=4
    \end{array}\right.
    \]
