Solving Systems of Equations Using the Addition/Elimination Method
1. x+y=1 2. 2x + y = -1
-x + y = 5 3x - y = -9
3. 2x - y = 8 4. 2x + 2y = 4
x + 3y = 4 -x + 2y = 4
5. 3x + 4y = 21 6. x+y=5
3x - 3y = 4 x + y = -5
YOU TRY:
A. 3x + 4y = 10 B. x - 5y = 5 C. x - 2y = -2
6x - 4y = 8 3x + y = 31 -2x + 4y = 4
B. SOLVE, MULTIPLYING BOTH EQUATIONS TO ELIMINATE ONE VARIABLE
1. 5x + 2y = 8 2. 3x + 2y = 8
3x - 5y = 11 4x - 3y = -12
3. 4x + 3y = 1 4. 2x + 5y = 11
5x - 4y = 9 3x + 8y = 16
Of the three methods for solving systems of equations (graphing, substitution, addition/elimination)
which method would work best in each of the following problems? Explain your choice!!
1. y = 2x 5 2. 5x 4y = 15
4y + 3x = 13 2x + 5y = 6
2
3. y = x5 4. 2x = 3y + 6

And solve the problems on the "Combined Practice" worksheet using the method of your
choice.
MAT 1033 8.2 Combined Practice
Solving Systems of Equations
Solve the following systems of equations using the method of your choice. You may
use as many or few of the graphs as you choose.
1. y + 2x = 5
3x 2y = 4
2. y = x - 5
y = -2x + 4
3. 3x - 4y = 12
5x + 4y = -12
4. y = x + 1
2x - 5y = 4
5. y = 4x + 1
2x + 2y = 7
