1 3.2 Solve Linear Systems Algebraically Before You solved linear systems graphically. Now You will solve linear systems algebraically. Why? So you can model guitar sales, as in E. 55. Key Vocabulary substitution method elimination method In this lesson, you will study two algebraic methods for solving linear systems. The first method is called the substitution method. KEY CONCEPT For Your Notebook The Substitution Method STEP STEP 2 STEP 3 Solve one of the equations for one of its variables. Substitute the epression from Step into the other equation and solve for the other variable. Substitute the value from Step 2 into the revised equation from Step and solve. E XAMPLE Use the substitution method Solve the system using the substitution method. 2 5y y 5 3 Equation Equation 2 Solution STEP Solve Equation 2 for. 5 23y 3 Revised Equation 2 STEP 2 Substitute the epression for into Equation and solve for y. 2 5y 5 25 Write Equation. 2(23y 3) 5y 5 25 Substitute 23y 3 for. y 5 Solve for y. STEP 3 Substitute the value of y into revised Equation 2 and solve for. 5 23y 3 Write revised Equation () 3 Substitute for y Simplify. c The solution is (230, ). CHECK Check the solution by substituting into the original equations. 2(230) 5() 0 25 Substitute for and y () Solution checks Chapter 3 Linear Systems and Matrices
2 ELIMINATION METHOD Another algebraic method that you can use to solve a system of equations is the elimination method. The goal of this method is to eliminate one of the variables by adding equations. KEY CONCEPT For Your Notebook The Elimination Method STEP STEP 2 STEP 3 Multiply one or both of the equations by a constant to obtain coefficients that differ only in sign for one of the variables. Add the revised equations from Step. Combining like terms will eliminate one of the variables. Solve for the remaining variable. Substitute the value obtained in Step 2 into either of the original equations and solve for the other variable. E XAMPLE 2 Use the elimination method Solve the system using the elimination method y y 5 8 Equation Equation 2 Solution STEP Multiply Equation by 22 so that the coefficients of differ only in sign. SOLVE SYSTEMS In Eample 2, one coefficient of is a multiple of the other. In this case, it is easier to eliminate the -terms because you need to multiply only one equation by a constant y y y y 5 8 STEP 2 Add the revised equations and solve for y. 6y 5 22 y 5 22 STEP 3 Substitute the value of y into one of the original equations. Solve for y 5 0 Write Equation (22) 5 0 Substitute 22 for y Simplify } 3 Solve for. c The solution is 2 4 } 3, CHECK You can check the solution algebraically using the method shown in Eample. You can also use a graphing calculator to check the solution. at classzone.com Intersection X= Y=-2 GUIDED PRACTICE for Eamples and 2 Solve the system using the substitution or the elimination method.. 4 3y y y 5 9 5y y y Solve Linear Systems Algebraically 6
3 E XAMPLE 3 Standardized Test Practice To raise money for new football uniforms, your school sells silk-screened T-shirts. Short sleeve T-shirts cost the school $5 each and are sold for $8 each. Long sleeve T-shirts cost the school $7 each and are sold for $2 each. The school spends a total of $2500 on T-shirts and sells all of them for $4200. How many of the short sleeve T-shirts are sold? A 50 B 00 C 50 D 250 Solution STEP Write verbal models for this situation. Equation Short sleeve cost (dollars/shirt) p Short sleeve shirts (shirts) Long sleeve cost (dollars/shirt) p Long sleeve shirts (shirts) 5 Total cost (dollars) Equation 2 5 p 7 p y Short sleeve selling price (dollars/shirt) p Short sleeve shirts (shirts) Long sleeve selling price (dollars/shirt) p Long sleeve shirts (shirts) 5 Total revenue (dollars) 8 p 2 p y STEP 2 Write a system of equations. Equation 5 7y Total cost for all T-shirts Equation 2 8 2y Total revenue from all T-shirts sold STEP 3 Solve the system using the elimination method. Multiply Equation by 28 and Equation 2 by 5 so that the coefficients of differ only in sign. 5 7y y 5 220, y y 5 2,000 AVOID ERRORS Choice D gives the number of long sleeve T-shirts, but the question asks for the number of short sleeve T-shirts. So you still need to solve for in Step 3. Add the revised equations and solve for y. 4y y Substitute the value of y into one of the original equations and solve for. 5 7y Write Equation. 5 7(250) Substitute 250 for y Simplify Solve for. The school sold 50 short sleeve T-shirts and 250 long sleeve T-shirts. c The correct answer is C. A B C D 62 Chapter 3 Linear Systems and Matrices
4 GUIDED PRACTICE for Eample 3 4. WHAT IF? In Eample 3, suppose the school spends a total of $375 on T-shirts and sells all of them for $660. How many of each type of T-shirt are sold? CHOOSING A METHOD In general, the substitution method is convenient when one of the variables in a system of equations has a coefficient of or 2, as in Eample. If neither variable in a system has a coefficient of or 2, it is usually easier to use the elimination method, as in Eamples 2 and 3. E XAMPLE 4 Solve linear systems with many or no solutions Solve the linear system. a. 2 2y 5 4 b y y y Solution a. Because the coefficient of in the first equation is, use the substitution method. Solve the first equation for. 2 2y 5 4 Write first equation. 5 2y 4 Solve for. Substitute the epression for into the second equation y 5 8 Write second equation. 3(2y 4) 2 6y 5 8 Substitute 2y 4 for Simplify. c Because the statement is never true, there is no solution. AVOID ERRORS When multiplying an equation by a constant, make sure you multiply each term of the equation by the constant. b. Because no coefficient is or 2, use the elimination method. Multiply the first equation by 7 and the second equation by y y y y Add the revised equations c Because the equation is always true, there are infinitely many solutions.
