5 The graph shows a system of linear equations. As you can see, without the use of technology, determining the solution from the graph is not easy. You can use the substitution method to find an exact solution. In substitution, you solve one equation for one variable and then substitute this expression into the other equation.

6 Example 1A: Solving Linear Systems by Substitution Use substitution to solve the system of equations. y = x 1 x + y = 7 Step 1 Solve one equation for one variable.

17 You can also solve systems of equations with the elimination method. With elimination, you get rid of one of the variables by adding or subtracting equations. You may have to multiply one or both equations by a number to create variable terms that can be eliminated. Reading Math The elimination method is sometimes called the addition method or linear combination.

28 In Lesson 3 1, you learned that systems may have infinitely many or no solutions. When you try to solve these systems algebraically, the result will be an identity or a contradiction. Remember! An identity, such as 0 = 0, is always true and indicates infinitely many solutions. A contradiction, such as 1 = 3, is never true and indicates no solution.

29 Example 3: Solving Systems with Infinitely Many or No Solutions Classify the system and determine the number of solutions. 3x + y = 1 2y + 6x = 18 Because isolating y is straightforward, use substitution. 3x + y = 1 y = 1 3x Solve the first equation for y. 2(1 3x) + 6x = x + 6x = 18 2 = 18 x Substitute (1 3x) for y in the second equation. Distribute. Simplify. Because 2 is never equal to 18, the equation is a contradiction. Therefore, the system is inconsistent and has no solution.
