Solving Systems

Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Addition and in Three Variables

QuestionAnswer
The method of solving systems of linear equations, in which the two equations are added together to eliminate one of the variables, called "....." Addition Method if A=B and C=D => A+C=B+D
Solve the following system using addition method x-y=2 x+y=8 (x-y=2) + ( x+y=8) 1)2x=10 2) x=5 3) x+y=8; 5+y=8; y=8-5; y=3 Check. 5-3=2; 2=2 true 5+3=8: 8=8 true (5,3) - solution
Solve the following system using addition method x-2y=11 3x-y=13 Multiply first equation by (-3) 1) x-2y=11 2) (-3)*(x-2y)=(-3)*11 3) -3x+6y=-33 4)add -3x+6y=-33 to 3x-y=13 5) 5y=-20 ; y=-4 6) x-2y=11 ; x=11+2y; x=11+2*(-4)=3 Check. 3-2*(-4)=11 true 3*3-(-4)=13 true (3,-4) - solution
Solve the following system using addition method x-3y=5 2x-6y=-3 Multiply first equation by (-2) 1) x-3y=5 2) (-2)*(x-3y)=(-2)*5 3) -2x+6y=-10 4) add -2x+6y=-10 to 2x-6y=-3 5) 0=-13 false This is an inconsistent system (two parallel lines) with no solution (with no intersection point).
Solve the following system using addition method 4x-3y=5 -8x+6y=-10 Multiply first equation by 2 1)4x-3y=5 2) 2*(4x-3y)=5*2 3) 8x -6y=10 4) add 8x -6y=10 to -8x+6y=-10 5) 0=0 true System has infinite number of solutions. Graphs of this equations are identical
Solve the following system using addition method 4x+3y=14 3x-2y=2 Multiply first equation by (-3) and second by 4 1) 4x+3y=14 2) (-3)*(4x+3y)=14*(-3) 3) -12x-9y=-42 4) 3x-2y=2 5) 4*(3x-2y)=2*4 6) 12x-8y=8 7) add -12x-9y=-42 to 12x-8y=8 8) -17y=-34; y=2 8) 4x+3y=14 ; 4x=14-3y; 4x=14-3*2; 4x=8; x=2 (2,2) - solution
An ordered triple (x,y,z) is the solution of _______. Linear equation in three variables
The system is _____________ if a) Three planes have a single point in common. This point represents the single solution of the system. b) Three planes intersect at all points of a single line. This system has infinitely many solutions. Consistent
Three planes intersect at no point common to all three. This system has no solution. This system is ____________. Inconsistent
Three planes coincide at all points on the plane. This system is ________, and the equations are _________________. Consistent, dependent
Solve the following system (1) 3x+2y-z=0 (2) x-y+5z=2 (3) 2x+3y+3z=7 Eq.(2)*(-3),add to eq.(1); (3x+2y-z=0)and(-3x-6y+3z=-6)-->eq.(4) -4y+2z=-6;Eq.(2)*(-2),add to eq.(3) ;(-2x+2y-10z=-4)and (2x+3y+3z=7)-->eq.(5) 5y-7z=3; Eq. (4)*5 and Eq.(5)*4;add (4)to(5) -18z=-18,z=-1 to(4) -4y+2*1=-6;y=2,to (2) x-2+5*1=2,x=-1 (-1,2,1)

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
