BY SUBSTITUTION METHOD

PRACTICE

 

1. 3x + 2y = 11

y = x + 3

 

2. 3x - y = 2

y = 2x - 1

 

3. 3x - y = -5

y = x + 4

 

4. x = 2y - 3

2x - 3y = -5

 

5. x = 3y - 1

3x + 4y = 10

 

6. y = 2 - 3x

6x + 2y = 7

 

7. x = 2 - y

3x + 3y = 6

 

8. 3x + 5y = -6

x = 5y + 3

 

9. y = 2x + 3

4x - 3y = 1

 

10. 4x - 3y = -1

y = 2x - 3

 

11. 3x - 7y = 28

x = 3 - 4y

 

12. 7x + y = 14

2x - 5y = -33

 

13. 3x + y = 4

4x - 3y = 1

 

 

14. x - 4y = 9

2x - 3y = 11

 

15. 3x - y = 6

x + 3y = 2

 

16. 4x + 3y = 0

2x - y = 0

 

17. 5x + 2y = 0

x - 3y = 0

 

18. y = 2x - 7

y = 4x + 5

 

19. 3x - y = 11

2x + 5y = -4

 

20. x = 4y - 2

x = 6y + 8
