In past years we studied systems of linear equations.

We learned three different methods to solve them.

Elimination, Substitution and Graphing

Graphing Method

To solve is to find the intersections of the graph.

Put each in slope intercept form and graph

Calculator Notes

1. Type equation 1 = y1, equation 2 = y2

2. Push 2ndTRACE5, move cursor to the left intersection push ENTER 3 times.

3. Push 2ndTRACE5, move cursor to the right intersection push ENTER 3 times.

Substitution Method

If we know that y = y. Then you can set both of the right hand sides of the equations equal.

Elimination Method

We want to eliminate one of the variables. If the equation is not set up so a variable will cancel, multiply each side by a number that will be able to cancel
