    Substitution Method
    The substitution method for solving a system of
    equations can be used to find the solution to a
    system. The goal is to obtain one equation
    containing only one variable.

    Example:
    Solve by substitution.
    y = 2x – 13
    – 4x – 7 = 9y

    Substitution Method
    1. Pick either equation and put a * beside it.
    2. In the * equation, solve literally for 1 variable (either one).
    3. Plug your variable’s other name into the non-*ed equation.
    4. Solve for the remaining variable.
    5. Plug this value into either original equation to solve for the
    last variable
    6. Check your answer in both.

    Substitution

    Mr. Coltharp took his Red Day Advanced


    Honors Algebra class to New York to take a trip
    to the Museum of Math. Including Mr. Coltharp
    (sponsor) other sponsors, and students, there
    were 28 people on the trip. He purchased the
    sponsor’s tickets for $25 and the student’s
    tickets for $20. Mr. Coltharp total budget for the
    trip was $600. How many sponsor and student
    tickets did Mr. Coltharp buy?

    Conclusion
     What is our new method of solving system of
    equations?
     How is it different than solving using
    elimination?
     What does it tell us when we get a solution, or
    not get a solution, graphically?
