yx The solution is (3,1)


Solving systems by substitution

1. Solve one of the equations for x in terms of y or y in terms of x

2. Substitute for the appropriate variable in the other equation

3. Solve the resulting equation for the remaining variable. (This will give you one coordinate of the ordered pair solution.)

4. Substitute the value from step 3 back into either of the original equations to determine the value of the other coordinate.

5. Write the answer as an ordered pair and check.

Solving Systems Using Elimination

1. Be sure each equation is in standard form: Ax+By=C

2. If desired or needed, clear fractions or decimals using a multiplier.

3. Multiply one or both equations by a number that will create coefficients of x (or y) that are additive inverses.

4. Combine the two equations using vertical addition.5. Solve the resulting equation for the remaining

variable.6. Substitute this x- or y-value back into either of the

original equations and solve for the other unknown.7. Write the answer as an ordered pair and check the

solution in both original equations.

6.3 Systems of Inequalities and Linear Programming

Solving a Linear Inequality

1. Graph the boundary line by solving for y and using the slope-intercept form.• Use a solid line if the boundary is included in the solution

set.• Use a dashed line if the boundary is excluded from the

solution set.2. For “greater than” inequalities shade the upper half plane. For

“less than” inequalities shade the lower half plane.3. Select a test point from the shaded solution region and

substitute the x- and y-values into the original inequality to verify the correct region shaded.

Solving Linear Programming Applications

1. Identify the main objective and the decision variables (descriptive variables may help.)

2. Write the objective function in terms of these variables.3. Organize all information in a table, with the decision

variables and constraints heading up the columns, and their components leading each row. Complete that table using the information given and write the constraint inequalities using the decision variables, constraints, and the domain.

4. Graph the constraint inequalities and determine the feasible region.

5. Identify all corner points of the feasible region and test these points in the objective function to determine the optimal solution(s).


A calculator company produces a scientific calculator and a graphing calculator. Long-term projections indicate an expected demand of at least 100 scientific and 80 graphing calculators each day. Because of limitations on production capacity, no more than 200 scientific and 170 graphing calculators can be made daily. To satisfy a shipping contract, a total of at least 200 calculators much be shipped each day.

If each scientific calculator sold results in a $2 loss, but each graphing calculator produces a $5 profit, how many of each type should be made daily to maximize net profits?
