Standards

[Link].5.3
Solve systems of equations using substitution.
[Link].C.8b
Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables
algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations.
Solve simple cases by inspection.
[Link].C.8c
Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear
equations in two variables.
Essential Question
Lesson objective:
 Understand how substitution can be used to
solve a linear system of equations.
 Apply this understanding to interpret the results
with one solution, no solutions, or infinitely
many solutions.

Solve for x.
 Solve system of linear equations by
substitution
We would like to solve the system:

Guided Questions:
1. Solve Equation (1) either for x or for y.

2. Substitute the expression you got it in step 1 in equation (2) then solve for the other variable.

3. Substitute the value you found in step 2 in one of the equation then solve to find the other variable.

4. Substitute x and y in the system to check your answer.

Extension: Use Desmos graphing calculator for interactive learning and checking your answer.

Gemma sells tickets at a fair. On
Saturday, she sells 800 tickets and
collects a total of $7,680. How can
Gemma determine the number of
each type of ticket sold on
Saturday?
Reasoning How
can you use two
different equations to
describe the
relationship between
adult tickets and
