Objectives Identify solutions of linear equations in two variables. Solve systems of linear equations in two variables by graphing.

A system of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations containing two or more variables. A solution of a system of linear equations with two variables is an ordered pair that satisfies each equation in the system. So, if an ordered pair is a solution, it will make both equations true.

Example 1A: Identifying Systems of Solutions Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. (5, 2); 3x – y = 13 2 – 2 0 0 0  3(5) – 2 13 15 – 2 13 13 13  3x – y 13 Substitute 5 for x and 2 for y in each equation in the system. The ordered pair (5, 2) makes both equations true. (5, 2) is the solution of the system.

If an ordered pair does not satisfy the first equation in the system, there is no reason to check the other equations. Helpful Hint

Example 1B: Identifying Systems of Solutions Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. x + 3y = 4 (–2, 2); –x + y = 2 –2 + 3(2) 4 x + 3y = 4 –2 + 6 4 4 4 –x + y = 2 –(–2) + 2 2 4 2 Substitute –2 for x and 2 for y in each equation in the system.  The ordered pair (–2, 2) makes one equation true but not the other. (–2, 2) is not a solution of the system.

All solutions of a linear equation are on its graph All solutions of a linear equation are on its graph. To find a solution of a system of linear equations, you need a point that each line has in common. In other words, you need their point of intersection. y = 2x – 1 y = –x + 5 The point (2, 3) is where the two lines intersect and is a solution of both equations, so (2, 3) is the solution of the systems.

Sometimes it is difficult to tell exactly where the lines cross when you solve by graphing. It is good to confirm your answer by substituting it into both equations. Helpful Hint

Example 2A: Solving a System Equations by Graphing Solve the system by graphing. Check your answer. y = x Graph the system. y = –2x – 3 The solution appears to be at (–1, –1). Check Substitute (–1, –1) into the system. y = x y = –2x – 3 (–1) –2(–1) –3 –1 2 – 3 –1 – 1  y = x (–1) (–1) –1 –1  • (–1, –1) y = –2x – 3 (–1, –1) is the solution of the system.

Example 2B: Solving a System Equations by Graphing Solve the system by graphing. Check your answer. y = x – 6 Graph using a calculator and then use the intercept command. y + x = –1 Rewrite the second equation in slope-intercept form. y = x – 6 y + x = –1 − x − x y =

Example 2B Continued Solve the system by graphing. Check your answer. Check Substitute into the system. + – 1 –1 –1 – 1  y = x – 6 – 6  y = x – 6 The solution is .

Example 3: Problem-Solving Application Wren and Jenni are reading the same book. Wren is on page 14 and reads 2 pages every night. Jenni is on page 6 and reads 3 pages every night. After how many nights will they have read the same number of pages? How many pages will that be?

Understand the Problem Example 3 Continued 1 Understand the Problem The answer will be the number of nights it takes for the number of pages read to be the same for both girls. List the important information: Wren on page 14 Reads 2 pages a night Jenni on page 6 Reads 3 pages a night

Example 3 Continued 2 Make a Plan Write a system of equations, one equation to represent the number of pages read by each girl. Let x be the number of nights and y be the total pages read. Total pages is number read every night plus already read. Wren y = 2  x + 14 Jenni y = 3  x + 6

Example 3 Continued 3 Solve Graph y = 2x + 14 and y = 3x + 6. The lines appear to intersect at (8, 30). So, the number of pages read will be the same at 8 nights with a total of 30 pages.  (8, 30) Nights

  Example 3 Continued Look Back 4 Check (8, 30) using both equations. Number of days for Wren to read 30 pages. 2(8) + 14 = 16 + 14 = 30  Number of days for Jenni to read 30 pages. 3(8) + 6 = 24 + 6 = 30 

Warm-Up Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. 1. (–3, 1) 2. (2, –4) 3. Joy has 5 collectable stamps and will buy 2 more each month. Ronald has 25 collectable stamps and will sell 3 each month. After how many months will they have the same number of stamps? How many will that be?

Objective Solve linear equations in two variables by substitution.

Sometimes it is difficult to identify the exact solution to a system by graphing. In this case, you can use a method called substitution. The goal when using substitution is to reduce the system to one equation that has only one variable. Then you can solve this equation by the methods taught in Chapter 2.

Solving Systems of Equations by Substitution Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Solve for one variable in at least one equation, if necessary. Step 1 Substitute the resulting expression into the other equation. Solve that equation to get the value of the first variable. Substitute that value into one of the original equations and solve. Write the values from steps 3 and 4 as an ordered pair, (x, y), and check.

Example 1A: Solving a System of Linear Equations by Substitution Solve the system by substitution. y = 3x y = x – 2 Step 1 y = 3x Both equations are solved for y. y = x – 2 Step 2 y = x – 2 3x = x – 2 Substitute 3x for y in the second equation. Step 3 –x –x 2x = –2 2x = –2 2 2 x = –1 Solve for x. Subtract x from both sides and then divide by 2.

  Example 1A Continued Solve the system by substitution. Write one of the original equations. Step 4 y = 3x y = 3(–1) y = –3 Substitute –1 for x. Write the solution as an ordered pair. Step 5 (–1, –3) Check Substitute (–1, –3) into both equations in the system. y = 3x –3 3(–1) –3 –3  y = x – 2 –3 –1 – 2 –3 –3 

Example 1B: Solving a System of Linear Equations by Substitution Solve the system by substitution. y = x + 1 4x + y = 6 The first equation is solved for y. Step 1 y = x + 1 Step 2 4x + y = 6 4x + (x + 1) = 6 Substitute x + 1 for y in the second equation. 5x + 1 = 6 Simplify. Solve for x. Step 3 –1 –1 5x = 5 5 5 x = 1 5x = 5 Subtract 1 from both sides. Divide both sides by 5.

  Example1B Continued Solve the system by substitution. Write one of the original equations. Step 4 y = x + 1 y = 1 + 1 y = 2 Substitute 1 for x. Write the solution as an ordered pair. Step 5 (1, 2) Check Substitute (1, 2) into both equations in the system. y = x + 1 2 1 + 1 2 2  4x + y = 6 4(1) + 2 6 6 6 

Sometimes you substitute an expression for a variable that has a coefficient. When solving for the second variable in this situation, you can use the Distributive Property.

When you solve one equation for a variable, you must substitute the value or expression into the other original equation, not the one that had just been solved. Caution

Example 2: Using the Distributive Property y + 6x = 11 Solve by substitution. 3x + 2y = –5 Solve the first equation for y by subtracting 6x from each side. Step 1 y + 6x = 11 – 6x – 6x y = –6x + 11 3x + 2(–6x + 11) = –5 3x + 2y = –5 Step 2 Substitute –6x + 11 for y in the second equation. 3x + 2(–6x + 11) = –5 Distribute 2 to the expression in parenthesis.

Example 2 Continued y + 6x = 11 Solve by substitution. 3x + 2y = –5 Step 3 3x + 2(–6x) + 2(11) = –5 Simplify. Solve for x. 3x – 12x + 22 = –5 –9x + 22 = –5 –9x = –27 – 22 –22 Subtract 22 from both sides. –9x = –27 –9 –9 Divide both sides by –9. x = 3

Example 2 Continued y + 6x = 11 Solve by substitution. 3x + 2y = –5 Write one of the original equations. Step 4 y + 6x = 11 y + 6(3) = 11 Substitute 3 for x. y + 18 = 11 Simplify. –18 –18 y = –7 Subtract 18 from each side. Step 5 (3, –7) Write the solution as an ordered pair.

Example 2: Consumer Economics Application Jenna is deciding between two cell-phone plans. The first plan has a $50 sign-up fee and costs $20 per month. The second plan has a $30 sign-up fee and costs $25 per month. After how many months will the total costs be the same? What will the costs be? If Jenna has to sign a one-year contract, which plan will be cheaper? Explain. Write an equation for each option. Let t represent the total amount paid and m represent the number of months.

Example 2 Continued Total paid sign-up fee payment amount for each month. is plus Option 1 t = $50 + $20 m Option 2 t = $30 + $25 m Step 1 t = 50 + 20m t = 30 + 25m Both equations are solved for t. Step 2 50 + 20m = 30 + 25m Substitute 50 + 20m for t in the second equation.

Example 2 Continued Step 3 50 + 20m = 30 + 25m Solve for m. Subtract 20m from both sides. –20m – 20m 50 = 30 + 5m Subtract 30 from both sides. –30 –30 20 = 5m Divide both sides by 5. 5 5 m = 4 20 = 5m Step 4 t = 30 + 25m Write one of the original equations. t = 30 + 25(4) Substitute 4 for m. t = 30 + 100 t = 130 Simplify.

Example 2 Continued Write the solution as an ordered pair. Step 5 (4, 130) In 4 months, the total cost for each option would be the same $130. If Jenna has to sign a one-year contract, which plan will be cheaper? Explain. Option 1: t = 50 + 20(12) = 290 Option 2: t = 30 + 25(12) = 330 Jenna should choose the first plan because it costs $290 for the year and the second plan costs $330.

Objectives Solve systems of linear equations in two variables by elimination. Compare and choose an appropriate method for solving systems of linear equations.

Another method for solving systems of equations is elimination Another method for solving systems of equations is elimination. Like substitution, the goal of elimination is to get one equation that has only one variable. To do this by elimination, you add the two equations in the system together.

Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination Step 1 Write the system so that like terms are aligned. Step 2 Eliminate one of the variables and solve for the other variable. Step 3 Substitute the value of the variable into one of the original equations and solve for the other variable. Write the answers from Steps 2 and 3 as an ordered pair, (x, y), and check. Step 4

Example 1: Elimination Using Addition 3x – 4y = 10 Solve by elimination. x + 4y = –2 Step 1 3x – 4y = 10 Write the system so that like terms are aligned. x + 4y = –2 Step 2 Add the equations to eliminate the y-terms. 4x + 0 = 8 4x = 8 Simplify and solve for x. 4x = 8 4 4 x = 2 Divide both sides by 4.

Example 1 Continued Step 3 x + 4y = –2 Write one of the original equations. 2 + 4y = –2 Substitute 2 for x. –2 –2 4y = –4 Subtract 2 from both sides. 4y –4 4 4 y = –1 Divide both sides by 4. Step 4 (2, –1) Write the solution as an ordered pair.

When two equations each contain the same term, you can subtract one equation from the other to solve the system. To subtract an equation add the opposite of each term.

Example 2: Elimination Using Subtraction 2x + y = –5 Solve by elimination. 2x – 5y = 13 2x + y = –5 Step 1 Add the opposite of each term in the second equation. –(2x – 5y = 13) 2x + y = –5 –2x + 5y = –13 0 + 6y = –18 Step 2 Eliminate the x term. 6y = –18 y = –3 Simplify and solve for y.

Example 2 Continued Write one of the original equations. Step 3 2x + y = –5 2x + (–3) = –5 Substitute –3 for y. 2x – 3 = –5 +3 +3 Add 3 to both sides. 2x = –2 Simplify and solve for x. x = –1 Step 4 (–1, –3) Write the solution as an ordered pair.

Remember to check by substituting your answer into both original equations.

In some cases, you will first need to multiply one or both of the equations by a number so that one variable has opposite coefficients. This will be the new Step 1.

Example 3A: Elimination Using Multiplication First Solve the system by elimination. x + 2y = 11 –3x + y = –5 Multiply each term in the second equation by –2 to get opposite y-coefficients. x + 2y = 11 Step 1 –2(–3x + y = –5) x + 2y = 11 +(6x –2y = +10) Add the new equation to the first equation. 7x + 0 = 21 Step 2 7x = 21 x = 3 Simplify and solve for x.

Example 3A Continued Write one of the original equations. Step 3 x + 2y = 11 3 + 2y = 11 Substitute 3 for x. –3 –3 2y = 8 Subtract 3 from each side. Simplify and solve for y. y = 4 Step 4 (3, 4) Write the solution as an ordered pair.

Example 3B: Elimination Using Multiplication First Solve the system by elimination. –5x + 2y = 32 2x + 3y = 10 Multiply the first equation by 2 and the second equation by 5 to get opposite x-coefficients Step 1 2(–5x + 2y = 32) 5(2x + 3y = 10) –10x + 4y = 64 +(10x + 15y = 50) Add the new equations. Step 2 19y = 114 Simplify and solve for y. y = 6

Example 3B Continued Write one of the original equations. Step 3 2x + 3y = 10 2x + 3(6) = 10 Substitute 6 for y. 2x + 18 = 10 –18 –18 2x = –8 Subtract 18 from both sides. x = –4 Simplify and solve for x. Step 4 Write the solution as an ordered pair. (–4, 6)

Check It Out! Example 3b Solve the system by elimination. 2x + 5y = 26 –3x – 4y = –25 Multiply the first equation by 3 and the second equation by 2 to get opposite x-coefficients Step 1 3(2x + 5y = 26) +(2)(–3x – 4y = –25) 6x + 15y = 78 +(–6x – 8y = –50) Add the new equations. 0 + 7y = 28 Step 2 y = 4 Simplify and solve for y.

Check It Out! Example 3b Continued Write one of the original equations. Step 3 2x + 5y = 26 2x + 5(4) = 26 Substitute 4 for y. 2x + 20 = 26 –20 –20 2X = 6 Subtract 20 from both sides. Simplify and solve for x. x = 3 Step 4 Write the solution as an ordered pair. (3, 4)

Example 4: Application Paige has $7.75 to buy 12 sheets of felt and card stock for her scrapbook. The felt costs $0.50 per sheet, and the card stock costs $0.75 per sheet. How many sheets of each can Paige buy? Write a system. Use f for the number of felt sheets and c for the number of card stock sheets. 0.50f + 0.75c = 7.75 The cost of felt and card stock totals $7.75. f + c = 12 The total number of sheets is 12.

Example 4 Continued Step 1 0.50f + 0.75c = 7.75 Multiply the second equation by –0.50 to get opposite f-coefficients. + (–0.50)(f + c) = 12 0.50f + 0.75c = 7.75 Add this equation to the first equation to eliminate the f-term. + (–0.50f – 0.50c = –6) 0.25c = 1.75 Step 2 c = 7 Simplify and solve for c. Write one of the original equations. Step 3 f + c = 12 f + 7 = 12 Substitute 7 for c. –7 –7 f = 5 Subtract 7 from both sides.

Example 4 Continued Step 4 (7, 5) Write the solution as an ordered pair. Paige can buy 7 sheets of card stock and 5 sheets of felt.

Warm-Up Solve each system by elimination. 1. 2. 3. 2x + y = 25 (11, 3) 3y = 2x – 13 –3x + 4y = –18 (2, –3) x = –2y – 4 –2x + 3y = –15 (–3, –7) 3x + 2y = –23 4. Harlan has $44 to buy 7 pairs of socks. Athletic socks cost $5 per pair. Dress socks cost $8 per pair. How many pairs of each can Harlan buy? 4 pairs of athletic socks and 3 pairs of dress socks

Objectives Solve special systems of linear equations in two variables. Classify systems of linear equations and determine the number of solutions.

In Lesson 6-1, you saw that when two lines intersect at a point, there is exactly one solution to the system. Systems with at least one solution are called consistent. When the two lines in a system do not intersect they are parallel lines. There are no ordered pairs that satisfy both equations, so there is no solution. A system that has no solution is an inconsistent system.

Example 1: Systems with No Solution y = x – 4 Solve –x + y = 3 Method 1 Compare slopes and y-intercepts. y = x – 4 y = 1x – 4 Write both equations in slope-intercept form. –x + y = 3 y = 1x + 3 The lines are parallel because they have the same slope and different y-intercepts. This system has no solution so it is an inconsistent system.

If two linear equations in a system have the same graph, the graphs are coincident lines, or the same line. There are infinitely many solutions of the system because every point on the line represents a solution of both equations.

Example 2A: Systems with Infinitely Many Solutions y = 3x + 2 Solve 3x – y + 2= 0 Method 1 Compare slopes and y-intercepts. Write both equations in slope-intercept form. The lines have the same slope and the same y-intercept. y = 3x + 2 y = 3x + 2 3x – y + 2= 0 y = 3x + 2 If this system were graphed, the graphs would be the same line. There are infinitely many solutions.

 Example 2A Continued y = 3x + 2 Solve 3x – y + 2= 0 Method 2 Solve the system algebraically. Use the elimination method. Write equations to line up like terms. y = 3x + 2 y − 3x = 2 3x − y + 2= 0 −y + 3x = −2 Add the equations. 0 = 0  True. The equation is an identity. There are infinitely many solutions.

Caution! 0 = 0 is a true statement. It does not mean the system has zero solutions or no solution.

Example 3A: Classifying Systems of Linear Equations Classify the system. Give the number of solutions. 3y = x + 3 Solve x + y = 1 3y = x + 3 y = x + 1 Write both equations in slope-intercept form. x + y = 1 y = x + 1 The lines have the same slope and the same y-intercepts. They are the same. The system is consistent and dependent. It has infinitely many solutions.

Example 3B: Classifying Systems of Linear equations Classify the system. Give the number of solutions. x + y = 5 Solve 4 + y = –x x + y = 5 y = –1x + 5 Write both equations in slope-intercept form. 4 + y = –x y = –1x – 4 The lines have the same slope and different y-intercepts. They are parallel. The system is inconsistent. It has no solutions.

Warm Up Graph each inequality. 1. x > –5 2. y ≤ 0 3. Write –6x + 2y = –4 in slope-intercept form, and graph. y = 3x – 2

Objective Graph and solve linear inequalities in two variables.

A linear inequality is similar to a linear equation, but the equal sign is replaced with an inequality symbol. A solution of a linear inequality is any ordered pair that makes the inequality true.

Example 1A: Identifying Solutions of Inequalities Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the inequality. (–2, 4); y < 2x + 1 y < 2x + 1 4 2(–2) + 1 4 –4 + 1 4 –3 <  Substitute (–2, 4) for (x, y). (–2, 4) is not a solution.

Example 1B: Identifying Solutions of Inequalities Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the inequality. (3, 1); y > x – 4 y > x − 4 1 3 – 4 1 – 1 > Substitute (3, 1) for (x, y).  (3, 1) is a solution.

A linear inequality describes a region of a coordinate plane called a half-plane. All points in the region are solutions of the linear inequality. The boundary line of the region is the graph of the related equation.

Graphing Linear Inequalities Step 1 Solve the inequality for y (slope-intercept form). Step 2 Graph the boundary line. Use a solid line for ≤ or ≥. Use a dashed line for < or >. Step 3 Shade the half-plane above the line for y > or ≥. Shade the half-plane below the line for y < or y ≤. Check your answer.

Example 2B: Graphing Linear Inequalities in Two Variables Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. 5x + 2y > –8 Step 1 Solve the inequality for y. 5x + 2y > –8 –5x –5x 2y > –5x – 8 y > x – 4 Step 2 Graph the boundary line Use a dashed line for >. y = x – 4.

Example 2B Continued Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. 5x + 2y > –8 Step 3 The inequality is >, so shade above the line.

 Example 2B Continued Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. 5x + 2y > –8 Substitute ( 0, 0) for (x, y) because it is not on the boundary line. Check y > x – 4 0 (0) – 4 0 –4 >  The point (0, 0) satisfies the inequality, so the graph is correctly shaded.

The point (0, 0) is a good test point to use if it does not lie on the boundary line. Helpful Hint

Example 2C: Graphing Linear Inequalities in two Variables Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. 4x – y + 2 ≤ 0 Step 1 Solve the inequality for y. 4x – y + 2 ≤ 0 –y ≤ –4x – 2 –1 –1 y ≥ 4x + 2 Step 2 Graph the boundary line y ≥= 4x + 2. Use a solid line for ≥.

Example 2C Continued Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. 4x – y + 2 ≤ 0 Step 3 The inequality is ≥, so shade above the line.

 Example 2C Continued Check y ≥ 4x + 2 3 4(–3)+ 2 3 –12 + 2 3 ≥ –10 3 4(–3)+ 2 3 –12 + 2 3 ≥ –10  y ≥ 4x + 2 Substitute ( –3, 3) for (x, y) because it is not on the boundary line. The point (–3, 3) satisfies the inequality, so the graph is correctly shaded.

Check It Out! Example 2a Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. 4x – 3y > 12 Step 1 Solve the inequality for y. 4x – 3y > 12 –4x –4x –3y > –4x + 12 y < – 4 Step 2 Graph the boundary line y = – 4. Use a dashed line for <.

Check It Out! Example 2a Continued Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. 4x – 3y > 12 Step 3 The inequality is <, so shade below the line.

Check It Out! Example 2a Continued Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. 4x – 3y > 12 Check y < – 4 –6 (1) – 4 –6 – 4 –6 <  Substitute ( 1, –6) for (x, y) because it is not on the boundary line. The point (1, –6) satisfies the inequality, so the graph is correctly shaded.

Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. Check It Out! Example 2c Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. Step 1 The inequality is already solved for y. Step 2 Graph the boundary line . Use a solid line for ≥. = Step 3 The inequality is ≥, so shade above the line.

Check It Out! Example 2c Continued Graph the solutions of the linear inequality. Substitute (0, 0) for (x, y) because it is not on the boundary line. Check y ≥ x + 1 0 (0) + 1 0 0 + 1 0 ≥ 1  A false statement means that the half-plane containing (0, 0) should NOT be shaded. (0, 0) is not one of the solutions, so the graph is shaded correctly.

Example 3a: Application Ada has at most 285 beads to make jewelry. A necklace requires 40 beads, and a bracelet requires 15 beads. Write a linear inequality to describe the situation. Let x represent the number of necklaces and y the number of bracelets. Write an inequality. Use ≤ for “at most.”

Necklace beads bracelet Example 3a Continued Necklace beads bracelet plus is at most 285 beads. 40x + 15y ≤ Solve the inequality for y. 40x + 15y ≤ 285 –40x –40x 15y ≤ –40x + 285 Subtract 40x from both sides. Divide both sides by 15.

Example 3b b. Graph the solutions. = Step 1 Since Ada cannot make a negative amount of jewelry, the system is graphed only in Quadrant I. Graph the boundary line . Use a solid line for ≤.

Example 3b Continued b. Graph the solutions. Step 2 Shade below the line. Ada can only make whole numbers of jewelry. All points on or below the line with whole number coordinates are the different combinations of bracelets and necklaces that Ada can make.

Example 3c c. Give two combinations of necklaces and bracelets that Ada could make. Two different combinations of jewelry that Ada could make with 285 beads could be 2 necklaces and 8 bracelets or 5 necklaces and 3 bracelets. (2, 8) (5, 3) 

Objective Graph and solve systems of linear inequalities in two variables.

A system of linear inequalities is a set of two or more linear inequalities containing two or more variables. The solutions of a system of linear inequalities consists of all the ordered pairs that satisfy all the linear inequalities in the system.

Example 1A: Identifying Solutions of Systems of Linear Inequalities Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. y ≤ –3x + 1 (–1, –3); y < 2x + 2 (–1, –3) (–1, –3) y ≤ –3x + 1 y < 2x + 2 –3 –3(–1) + 1 –3 3 + 1 –3 4 ≤  –3 –2 + 2 –3 0 <  –3 2(–1) + 2 (–1, –3) is a solution to the system because it satisfies both inequalities.

  Check It Out! Example 1b Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. y > –x + 1 (0, 0); y > x – 1 (0, 0) (0, 0) y > –x + 1 0 –1 ≥  0 0 – 1 y > x – 1 0 –1(0) + 1 0 0 + 1 0 1 >  (0, 0) is not a solution to the system because it does not satisfy both inequalities.

System of Inequalities Graph the following inequalities on the same graph: y < 2 x ≥ -1 y > x -2 The Graph of the system is the overlap, or intersection, of the 3 half-planes shown.

A Triangular Solution Region A solution of a system of inequalities is an ordered pair that is a solution of each inequality in the system. (2,1) is a solution because: y < 2 1 < 2 x ≥ -1 2 ≥ -1 y > x -2 1 > 2 -2 (2,1)

Solution Region Between Parallel Lines The graph of one inequality is the half-plane below the line y = 3 The graph of the other inequality is the half-plane above the line y = 1 What is the system of inequalities represented by this graph?

Solution Region Between Parallel Lines The shaded region of the graph is the horizontal band that lies between the two horizontal lines, but not on the lines. The solution of this system of inequalities can be represented by this compound inequality: 1 < y < 3

Example 2A: Solving a System of Linear Inequalities by Graphing Graph the system of linear inequalities. Give two ordered pairs that are solutions and two that are not solutions. (–1, 4) (2, 6)  y ≤ 3 y > –x + 5  (6, 3) (8, 1) y ≤ 3 y > –x + 5 Graph the system. (8, 1) and (6, 3) are solutions. (–1, 4) and (2, 6) are not solutions.

Example 2B: Solving a System of Linear Inequalities by Graphing Graph the system of linear inequalities. Give two ordered pairs that are solutions and two that are not solutions. –3x + 2y ≥ 2 y < 4x + 3 –3x + 2y ≥ 2 Write the first inequality in slope-intercept form. 2y ≥ 3x + 2

(0, 0) and (–4, 5) are not solutions. Example 2B Continued Graph the system.  (2, 6) (1, 3) y < 4x + 3  (0, 0) (–4, 5) (2, 6) and (1, 3) are solutions. (0, 0) and (–4, 5) are not solutions.

In Lesson 6-4, you saw that in systems of linear equations, if the lines are parallel, there are no solutions. With systems of linear inequalities, that is not always true.

Example 3A: Graphing Systems with Parallel Boundary Lines Graph the system of linear inequalities. y ≤ –2x – 4 y > –2x + 5 This system has no solutions.

Example 3B: Graphing Systems with Parallel Boundary Lines Graph the system of linear inequalities. y > 3x – 2 y < 3x + 6 The solutions are all points between the parallel lines but not on the dashed lines.

Check It Out! Example 3a Graph the system of linear inequalities. y > x + 1 y ≤ x – 3 This system has no solutions.

Example 4: Application In one week, Ed can mow at most 9 times and rake at most 7 times. He charges $20 for mowing and $10 for raking. He needs to make more than $125 in one week. Show and describe all the possible combinations of mowing and raking that Ed can do to meet his goal. List two possible combinations. Earnings per Job ($) Mowing 20 Raking 10

Example 4 Continued Step 1 Write a system of inequalities. Let x represent the number of mowing jobs and y represent the number of raking jobs. x ≤ 9 He can do at most 9 mowing jobs. y ≤ 7 He can do at most 7 raking jobs. 20x + 10y > 125 He wants to earn more than $125.

Example 4 Continued Step 2 Graph the system. The graph should be in only the first quadrant because the number of jobs cannot be negative. Solutions

Example 4 Continued Step 3 Describe all possible combinations. All possible combinations represented by ordered pairs of whole numbers in the solution region will meet Ed’s requirement of mowing, raking, and earning more than $125 in one week. Answers must be whole numbers because he cannot work a portion of a job. Step 4 List the two possible combinations. Two possible combinations are: 7 mowing and 4 raking jobs 8 mowing and 1 raking jobs

An ordered pair solution of the system need not have whole numbers, but answers to many application problems may be restricted to whole numbers. Helpful Hint
