Graphing Systems of Equations
• The goal is to find a value for x and y that make two equations true.
Example
• y = 3x - 1
• x+y=7
• step 1 Graph each equation
• step 2 Notice the point of intersection
• step 3 Find the coordinates of the point of intersection.
• What do these coordinates mean?
Solve Systems by Substitution
• Think about parallel lines. If your two equations are parallel lines you will
either have infinitely many solutions or no solutions.
• Example: The sum of the measures of angles X and Y is 180 (They are
supplementary). The measure of angle X is 24 greater than angle Y.
• Equation one. “The sum of X & Y is 180”: x + y = 180
• Equation two. “Angle X is 24 greater than y”: x = 24 + y
• Since we have x equal to something, we can substitute what x is equal to in the first equation.
• (24 + y) + y = 180: notice how x is now 24 + y
• 24 + 2y = 180. Solve for y: 156 = 2y; y = 78.
• Now we can substitute 88 for y in either x = 24 + y or x + y = 180
• Either we get x = 24 + 78; x=102 Or we get x + 78 = 180. x = 102
Elimination using Addition and Subtraction
• You can add or subtract equations with each other.
• x+y=4
• x–y=8
• 2x = 12: x = 6 When we substitute 6 for y what does y equal?
• Subtract
• x + 4y = -4
• - x + 10y = -16
•
-6y = 12: y = -2 Notice 4 – 10 = -6 and - 4 – (-16) = 12
Elimination using Multiplication
• Prior to adding equations together, you can multiply an entire
equation by a constant.
• x + y = 2 We will take this equation and multiply by 3
• -3x + 4y = 15
• 3x +3y = 6
•
7y = 21
• There are instances where you may need to multiply 2 equations by a
constant.
• 8x + 3y = -7
• 7x + 2y = -3
Applying Systems of Linear Equations
• Manuela has a total of 40 DVDs of movies and television shows. The
number of movies is 4 less than 3 times the number of television
shows. Write and solve a system of equations to find the numbers of
movies and television shows that she has on DVD.
Another word problem
• An online music club offers individual songs for one price or entire
albums for another. Kendrick pays $14.90 to download 5 songs and 1
album. Geoffrey pays $21.75 to download 3 songs and 2 albums.
• How much does each song cost and each album?
Systems of Inequalities
• Graphing an inequality.
• Exactly like graphing an equation except there is an inequality sign.
After graphing the linear equation, decide:
1: If the line is dotted or solid
2: Which side of the line to shade
If the point (0,0) is not on the line
try it in the inequality.
0 > 0 – 2: 0 > -2 is true, shade that side
0 ≤ 2(0)+2: 0 ≤ 2 is true, shade that side
Solution sets of systems of inequalities
• Graph each inequality with the
proper shading.
• Look to see where there is an
intersection of regions.
• That intersection is the
solution region.
Try these systems
• Y > -x
• Y < 2x + 5
5x – y ≥ 3
2x – 4y < 1
