using substitution method

Textbook pages: 19 - 26
Part 1
Solving system of linear
equations by Substitution
Warm-up
• Solve each equation by isolating x on one side and solve
for x in each case:

3x+6y= 6

2x+8y = -12
Warm-up (solution)
• 3x+6y= 6
 3x= 6-6y
 x= 2-2y or x=-2y+2

• 2x+8y = -12
2x= -12-8y
x= -6 - 4y or x= -4y-6

Real-life Problem
La Perle, the first UAE permanent region’s show, located in Dubai at Al
Habtoor city features a breathtaking fusion of immersive artistic
performances. One night, the cost of a ticket to the show was 25$ for
children and 50$ for adults. On that night, the total number of people was
2,000, and the total revenue was 70,000$. How many children and how
many adults bought tickets? Write the system of linear equations that
model this problem and solve the system using method of substitution.

Objectives: Solve system of linear equations in two variables by Elimination method


Real-life Problem (solution)

X Number of children
Y Number of adults

X+Y= 2,000 (eq.1)


25x+50Y=70,000 (eq.2)

From eq(1)
X=2000-Y

Substitute this in eq(2)


25(2000-Y)+50Y=70,000
 50,000-25Y+50Y=70,000
 25Y=20,000
 Y= 800 adults

From eq.1 x=2,000-800  x=1,200 Children
