lesson variables algebraically through substitution.

2. The teacher lets the students find the solution set of the
given system of linear equations by substitution.
(a){ 3 x + y =7
2 x−5 y =16

Answer: {2 3x−5
x + y =7
y =16
y = -3x + 7
2x – 5(-3x + 7) = 16
2x + 15x -35 = 16
2x + 15x = 16 + 35
17x = 51
17 x 51
=
17 17
x=3
y = -3(3) + 7
y = -9 + 7
y = -2
Hence, the solution set is (3, -2).
B. Establishing a
purpose for the lesson Motive Questions:
1. What is the solution set you have obtained? (The
solution set is (3, -2).)
2. What method did you use to get the solution set? (We
used the substitution method.)

The solution of a system of linear equations can be

determined algebraically. We have discussed the first
method which is substitution. Now, we will discuss the
second method of solving algebraically which is
elimination.
C. Presenting examples To solve a system of linear equations in two variables by
of the new lesson the elimination method, the following procedures could
be followed:
a. Whenever necessary, rewrite both equations in
standard form Ax + By = C.
b. Whenever necessary, multiply either equation
or both equations by a nonzero number so that the
coefficients of x or y will have a sum of 0. (Note:
The coefficients of x and y are additive inverses.)
c. Add the resulting equations. This leads to an
equation in one variable. Simplify then solve the
resulting equation.
d. Substitute the value obtained to any of the
original equations to find the value of the other
variable.

e. Check the values of the variables obtained

against the linear equations in the system.

Example: Solve the system {2 3x−5

x + y =7
y =16

method.
Solution: Think of eliminating y first.
Multiply 5 to both sides of the equation 3x + y = 7.
5(3x + y = 7) → 15x + 5y = 35
Add the resulting equations.
15x + 5y = 35
2x – 5y = 16
17x = 51
Solve for x by dividing both sides of the equation by 17.
17x 51
17x = 51 → = → x=3
17 17
Substitute 3, value of x, to any of the original equations to
solve for y.
2x – 5y = 16 → 2(3) – 5y = 16
Simplify.
6 – 5y = 16 → -5y = 16 – 6 → -5y = 10
Solve for y by dividing both sides of the equation by -5.
−5 y 10
-5y = 10 → = → y = -2
−5 −5
Check the values of the variables obtained against the
linear equations in the system.
1. 3x + y = 7; x = 3 and y = -2
3(3) + (-2) = 7 → 9 – 2 = 7 → 7 = 7
Hence, x = 3 and y = -2 are true to 3x + y = 7.
2. 2x – 5y = 16; x = 3 and y = -2
2(3) – 5(-2) = 16 → 6 + 10 = 16 → 16 = 16
Hence, x = 3 and y = -2 are true to 2x – 5y = 16.
Therefore, the solution to the system { 3 x + y =7
2 x−5 y =16
is the
ordered pair (3, -2).
