I. Systems of Equations
1. Is (5, -2) a solution to the system? Please show work to justify your
answer.
2x + 6y = −2
1. ____________
2x + y = 6
2. Please graph the system and find the solution. 2. ( , )
4x – 2y + 8 = 0 x+y–1=0
3. 6x + 2y = 10 2x + 2y = 2
3. ( , )
Algebra 2, Chapter 3 Practice Test page 2
Please solve by the substitution method.
3x + 4 y = −3
4. 4.
y = −2x + 8
x − 2y = 8
5. 5.
x = 5− y
Please solve by the elimination method.
2x + 5y = −10
6. 6.
3x − 2y = 4
2x + y = 5
7. 7.
2y + 4 x = 10
2x − 3y = 6
8. 8.
6x − 9y = 9
