The answer is the ordered
pair of the location where the
two (or more) lines collide
Steps of Graphing:1) put
into y=mx+b form 2) graph
equation 3) the intersection
point is the solution
Elimination
solved by adding (or subtracting)
a+ b=8
-a+5b=10
If no variables can be
added or subtracted, then
multiply a number through
the entire equation, so that
the variables can cancel out.
For subtracting, multiply a
negative through the entire
equation to add instead.
Substitution
solved by substituting an
expression or equation for a
variable
x=5+2y AND 3x+y=8
SO, 3(5+2y)+y=8
Steps of Substitution: 1) Isolate a
variable 2) Substitute the expression
for isolated variable into the other
equation 3) Solve for that variable 4)
Plug solution back into either original
equation 5)Check in both equations
