Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related ALG2.61 Choosing a Method for Linear Systems skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

Which method is most efficient for solving 3.5x + 2y = 9 and 7x - 2y = 5 exactly by hand?

AGraphing, because decimals should be estimated visually.

BTechnology, because exact answers are impossible by hand with decimals.

CElimination, because the y-coefficients are opposites already.

DSubstitution, because one variable is isolated.

Solution & Explanation:Even with the decimal 3.5, the y-coefficients 2 and -2 cancel immediately, so elimination is still the most efficient method.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

Which method is most efficient for solving x - 2.5y = 4 and 4x + y = 1 exactly by hand?

ASubstitution, because x can be isolated from the first equation in one step.

BElimination, because the y-coefficients are opposites already.

CGraphing, because decimals prevent exact algebra.

DTechnology, because one decimal coefficient always rules out hand methods.

Solution & Explanation:The first equation has x with coefficient 1, so isolating x is quick and makes substitution efficient.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Which statement best evaluates the method choice for y = 0.9x + 3.2 and y = 0.9x - 4.7 when the goal is to decide quickly whether the system has a solution?

ASubstitution is best because equal slopes always create one exact solution.

BGraphing is reasonable because the same slope and different intercepts make the no-solution situation easy to see.

CElimination is best because the x-coefficients are opposites already.

DTechnology is necessary because the equations use decimals.

Solution & Explanation:A graph quickly shows that lines with the same slope and different intercepts are parallel and do not intersect.
