Solving Systems of Linear

Equations by Algebraically
(substitution method)
Example #1 : p.147
7x + 2y = 7
4x – y = 4
Step 1 : Solve for
one variable.

4x - y = 4
- y = - 4x + 4
y = 4x – 4

Step 2 : Substitute
the expression into
the other equation.
7x + 2y = 7
7x + 2(4x – 4) = 7
7x + 8x – 8 = 7
Example #1 :
7x + 2y = 7
4x – y = 4
Step3. Solve the
Equation.
7x + 8x – 8 = 7
15x = 15
x=1
Step4. Obtain the
value of the second
variable.
4x – y = 4
4(1) – y = 4
–y=4–4
–y =0
y =0
Example #1 :
7x + 2y = 7
4x – y = 4
Step5. Checking the
solutions.
{( 1, 0 )}
Eq. 1
7x + 2y = 7
7(1) + 2(0) = 7
7=7
Eq. 2
4x – y = 4
4(1) – 0 = 4
4=4
Example #2 : page 148
x – 2y = 18
x + 11y= 5
Step 1 : Solve
for one variable.

x – 2y = 18
x = 2y + 18

Step 2 : Substitute
the expression
into the other
equation.
x + 11y= 5
(2y + 18) + 11y = 5
Example #2 : page 148
x – 2y = 18
x + 11y= 5
Step 3 : Solve
for one variable.
2y + 18 + 11y = 5
2y+11y = -18 +5
13y = - 13
y = -1
Step 4 : Solve for
the other variable.
(x) in any eq.
x – 2y = 18
X – 2(-1) = 18
x + 2 = 18
x = 18 – 2
x = 16
Example #2 : page 148
x – 2y = 18
x + 11y= 5
Step5. Checking the
solutions.
{(16 , -1)}
Eq. 1
x – 2y = 18
16 – 2 (- 1) = 18
16 + 2= 18
18 = 18
Eq. 2
x + 11y= 5
16 + 11(-1) = 5
16 - 11 = 5
5=5
Example #3 : (Guided Visible Quiz)
x + 6y = 9
x - 6y = -3
Step 1 : Solve Step3. Solve the Step5. Checking the
for one variable. Equation. solutions.
(-6y + 9) - 6y = - 3 {(3 , 1)}
x + 6y = 9 -6y -6y= -9 -3 Eq. 1
x = -6y + 9 -12y= -12 x + 6y= 9
y=1 3+6(1) = 9
Step 2 : Substitute Step4. Obtain the 9= 9
the expression value of the second Eq. 2
into the other variable. x – 6y = -3
equation. x + 6y = 9 3 – 6(1) = -3
x - 6y = -3 x + 6(1) = 9 -3 = -3
(-6y + 9) - 6y = - 3 x =9-6
x =3
