Question #3
Check Your Work
Check your answers by plugging BOTH answers back into BOTH
equations.
Hint: You are not solving in this problem. Instead, you are only
simplifying and checking that your answers work in both of the
equations from question #1.
Question #1
Create two equations
Using the prompt on the previous slide, create two equations.
Include the following in your explanation:

the following guidelines:
You may only use the elimination or substitution to solve the
system. ALL steps must be shown and explanations must be
given for ALL steps.
