1. Solve the following systems of equations by graphing:

a. y = 2x + 6 b. 3x + 2y = 4 c. 6x + 3y = 21
y = -3x - 4 2x + 3y = 6 2x + y = 2
d. 4x + 5y = 15 e. 𝑥=2 f. y=0
8x + 10 y = 30 1 y=x
𝑦=
2

2. Solve the following system of equations by substitution:


a. x = y+ 8 b. 12x + 3y = 21 c. x -2y = 6 d. 21y – 14x = 54
x + y = 10 3x - 12y = 9 2x - 4y = 12 -2x + 3y = 1

d. x+y=0 e. – 24x + 9y =3 f. x =y
y=2 10y + 8x =12 y= x + 4

x + 2y =5 12x – 3 y =22 28x – y = 12
d. e.
