What is a system?
• Two or more equations (or inequalities) create a system.
• You will be asked to solve at least one system
• We use systems to solve word problems involving multiple items

Answer the Question Being Asked
• Carefully read how they want your answer– Ordered pair (x, y)– Sum of the solutions
• Add x and y together• Example: x = 3, y = 1, your answer is then 3 + 1 = 4
– Product of the solutions• Multiply x and y together• EX: x = 3, y = 1, your answer is then 3(1) = 3
– Written in a complete sentence• EX: Kathy sold 12 chocolate cakes and 7 vanilla
cakes.

Solve by Graphing
1. Manually graph both equations on graph paper2. Use the graphing calculator to graph– Graph a system of equations– Graph a system of inequalities
3. If the point of intersection does not have integers for coordinates, find the exact solution by using substitution or elimination.

Graphing an Inequality on the calculator
1. Both equations must have y by itself2. Press ON key (bottom left corner) on your graphing calculator3. Press Y= key (top left corner)4. Type 1st equation into \Y1= (the x variable is to the right of the
ALPHA key)
5. Move the cursor to the left of \Y1= so the \ is blinking and press ENTER until the shading is either up (greater than) or down (less than)
6. Type 2nd equation into \ Y2=
7. Follow step 5 for 2nd equation8. Press GRAPH (top right corner)9. Most likely you’ll be asked to find the ordered pair that is
located in the intersection of the two shadings.10. Answer accordingly.

Substitution
• Use substitution when one of the coefficients is equal to 1.
• You’ll substitute part of one equation into the other equation.
• Once you solve for one variable, you’ll have to use that to solve for the other variable.

Practice Problem #2
• Solve. Write your answer as an ordered pair.
-0.5x + y = - 1y - 1 = 2 -7x + 2
ANSWER
![Page 21: Systems of Equations & Inequalities © Beth MacDonald 2009](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062407/56649db35503460f94aa3c13/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Answer 2)Step 1: solve each equation for y
-0.5x + y = - 1 becomes y = 0.5x - 1y - 1 = 2 -7x + 2 becomes y = -7x +5
Step 2: solve by substitution0.5x – 1 = -7x + 57.5x = 6x = 0.8
Step 3: use y - 1 = 2 -7x + 2, substitution 0.8 for x y – 1 = 2 – 7(0.8) + 2 y = 2 – 5.6 + 2 + 1
y = -0.6 Answer: (0.8, -0.6)Return to
