Systems of Equations

For this topic students must be able to determine if a point is a solution for a set of equations.  They also need to be able to correctly solve, graph, and label a system of equations properly.

Examples are:
Solve each system of equations to find the solution.
1) y = 5x
y - x = 8

2)  2x = 3y
x + 2y = 7

3)  x + 2y = 5
3x + y = 10

4)  y = 2x + 11
y = -x + 5

5)  y = 4x - 3
y = 5x - 1

Determine if each point is a solution.
6)    (-2, 3)
x + y = 1
y = -2

7)     (-2, 3)
y = 2x + 7
x = y -  4
