3.2 Solving Systems Algebraically Sometimes, it is difficult to graph equations accurately by hand. Sometimes, the points of intersection are not integer values and are difficult to see. Sometime, we need a different way to find the solution to a system of equations.

Make a Plan: This method works well when

One equation is already solved for one variable in terms of another like y= or x =

One equation has a term with a coefficient of 1 or -1.

Make it Happen:

If necessary, solve one equation for one of the variables.

Get x = or y =

Substitute the expression for the variable in the other equation.

Solve the equation. You will almost always have to distribute first.

Substitute your solution into either original equation.

Solve for the remaining variable.

Write your answer as an ordered pair.

CHECK YOUR ANSWER IN BOTH EQUATIONS!

Make a Plan: This method works well when

No variable is already solved for

No coefficient is 1 or -1

Make it Happen:

GOAL – to create additive opposites Ex. 4x, -4x or -7y, 7y

If necessary, multiply one or both equations by a constant to create additive opposites.

Add the two equations. This should eliminate one of the variables.

Solve for the variable.

Substitute into either original equations and solve for the remaining variable.

Write your answer as an ordered pair.

3.3 Systems of Inequalities A: Graphing a Linear Inequality: (REVIEW)

Graph the Inequality like an equation

If < or > use a __________________ line. If ≤ or ≥ use a __________________ line.

Test a point on one side of your boundary line. If the point satisfies the inequality, shade that side of the line. If the point does not, shade the opposite side of the line. In general: If line is y = mx + b < or ≤ means shade ______________ > or ≥ means shade _______________

B: Solving a System of Linear Inequalities The solution to a system of equations is the _________ that makes both equations true. The solution to a system of inequalities is the ____________ of the two regions that make each inequality true. Examples: What is the solution of the system of inequalities

Some real-world problems involve multiple linear relationships.

We call the inequalities the _____________________________.

The overlapping region (the solution to the system) is called the __________________________.

The corners of the region are called the __________________.

In real world problems, you will be trying to MAXIMIZE or MINIMIZE a quantity that depends upon the constraints. Most often this is __________________ or ________________. The equation that models what you are trying to maximize or minimize is called the ______________________________________________.

For the feasible region above, find the maximum and minimum value of the objective function:

C = 2x + y

B: Linear Programming Procedure Example 1: Find the values of x and y that Example 2: Find the values of x and y that maximize the objective function for the graph. minimize the objective function for the graph. P = 4x – y C = x + 9y Example 3: Graph each system of constraints. Name all vertices. Then find the values of x and y that maximize or minimize the objective function.

3.5 Systems with Three Variables In lesson 3.1 & 3.2, we learned about systems of 2 equations with 2 variables, that may have a solution (x, y) that makes both equations true. In this lesson, we will learn about systems of 3 equations and 3 variables that may have a solution (x, y, z) that makes all three equations true.

Make a Plan

GOAL: Use elimination (lesson 3.2) to change your 3 x 3 system to a 2 x 2 system.

Look for a variable that can easily be eliminated from all three equations.

Make it Happen

Choose a variable to eliminate.

Choose 2 equations & eliminate the variable.

Choose a different pair of equations & eliminate the SAME VARIABLE again.

You now have TWO new equations each with TWO variables. Use substitution or elimination to solve (Like 3.2)

Substitute your solutions into one of the ORIGINAL 3 variable equations and solve for the missing term.

Write your answer as an alphabetical ordered triplet. (x, y, z)
