Video Examples

Solving Systems Using Substitution 1) x + y = 3 2x - y = 0 Video Solution 2) x - 3y = -14 x - y = -2 Video Solution 3) 6x - 5y = 3 x - 9y = 25 white board solution This is a sample problem solved using three methods - by graphing, by substitution, and by elimination. The elimination method is also sometimes call linear combinations. Solve the system by graphing: 4x - y = -1 -x + y = x - 5 Video Solution Solve the system by substitution: 4x - y = -1 -x + y = x - 5 Video Solution Solve the system by Elimination: 4x - y = -1 -x + y = x - 5 Video Solution Sample problems and worked out solutions from Ace100.org You have $200 in your bank account and you are going to deposit $16 each week. Your sister’s bank account has $728 and she is going to withdraw $8 per week. In how many weeks will your accounts be equal? Video Solution Gabby has $5.65 in dimes and quarters. The number of dimes is 17 less than the number of quarters. How many coins of each type does she have? Video Solution The length of a rectangle is 16m less than 3 times the width. The perimeter is 128m. find the width, length, and area of the rectangle. Video Solution Ethan's age is 6 times Michelle's age. The sum of their ages is 21. Find the age of each. Video Solution The difference of Ethan's age and Bill's age is 13 . The sum of 6 times Ethan's age and 7 times Bill's age is 169. Find the age of each. Video Solution There were 304 people at a a fundraiser for the high school girls soccer team. Admission was $14 for each adult and $6 for each student. The total receipts for all ticket sales was $2,376.00. How many adult tickets and student tickets were sold? Video Solution Writing and Solving a System of Equations Solve by Graphing Video on Educreations Five years from now, a father’s age will be three times his son’s age, and 5 years ago, he was seven times as old as his son was. What are their present ages?
