Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG1.62 Choose an Efficient Method for a System skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery
System: y = 2x + 1; 6x - 3y = -3. Which method is most efficient for verifying the solution type?
ASubstitution, because y is isolated and substitution gives a true statement for every x
BElimination, because the y-coefficients are already opposites
CGraphing, because the equations must cross once
DSubstitution, because the constants are both small
Solution & Explanation:Replacing y with 2x + 1 gives 6x - 3(2x + 1) = -3, which simplifies to -3 = -3. The system has infinitely many solutions.
Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery
System: 17x - 5y = 31; -17x + 8y = -10. Which choice explains why elimination is efficient?
AThe x-coefficients are opposites, so adding the equations removes x immediately
BThe y-coefficients are equal, so subtracting removes y
COne equation already isolates y
DThe constants are both negative
Solution & Explanation:The terms 17x and -17x cancel when the equations are added, leaving a one-variable equation in y.
Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery
System: 4x - y = 13; y = 4x - 13. Which method quickly shows the equations describe the same line?
ASubstitution, because y is isolated in the second equation and makes the first equation an identity
BElimination, because the constants are equal
CGraphing, because same-line systems cannot be checked algebraically
DElimination, because x has coefficient 4 in both equations
Solution & Explanation:Substituting 4x - 13 for y in 4x - y = 13 gives 13 = 13. That identity shows infinitely many solutions.
