Choose your pair and solve the following systems of equations using the different methods:

1. x + 2y = 6
2x + y = 9

Solve by Graphing Solve by the Substitution method

x+2y=6
2x+y=9

y= -2x+9 2x+y=9
X+2(-2x+9)=6 2(4)+y=9
X-4x+18=6 8+y=9
-3x+18=6 y=9-8
-3x= 6-18 y=1
-3x= -12
X= 4
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x=4 and y=1

Solve by the Elimination Method


X+2y=6 (x+2y=6)(-1) X+2y=6
2x+y=9 -x-2y= -6 -3+2y=6
(−x−2y)+(2x+y)=(−6)+(9) 2y=6+3
X= -3 2y=9
Y= 4.5
Therefore, the solution to the system of equations is x=-3 and y=4.5

2. 4x1 + 2x2= 6
x1 + x2= 3

2. Find the total number of BukSU students and BukSU employees tickets sold given that the cost
of a ticket to a variety show is P25.00 for students and P50.00 for employees.
Additionally, on a certain day, attendance at the show is 2,000 and the total gate
revenue is P70,000. (1200,800)

1. Challenge yourself to answer the following systems of equations using any method:

1. 2x + 3y + z = 3
2x + y + 2z = 4
x + 3y – 2z = -1

2. x1+2x2 +3x3= 6
2x1+ x2 -3x3= 6
x1+4x2 + x3= 10
