Explanation Given: The total cost of 3 cases of paper and 5 ink cartridges is $295. Cost of a paper case is $13 more than the cost of ink cartridge. Procedure used: Solving system of equation by Substitution method: (1) Solve either of the equations for one variable in terms of the other. (If one of the equations is already in this form, you can skip this step.) (2) Substitute the expression found in step 1 into the other equation. (3) Solve the equation containing one variable. (4) Back-substitute the value found in step 3 into one of the original equations and find the value of the remaining variable. (5) Check the solution by substituting in one of the system of given equations. Calculation: Consider x and y as the cost of paper case and ink cartridge. The cost of 3 paper case and 5 ink cartridges is $295. 3 x + 5 y = 295 (1) The cost of a paper case is $13 more than the cost of an ink cartridges. x = 13 + y (2) By using the above procedure, solve the system of equations. Step 1: Since the equation (2) is already in terms of y , no need to isolate the variables. Step 2: Substitute 13 + y for x in the equation (1). 3 x + 5 y = 295 3 ( 13 + y ) + 5 y = 295 Here, the variable x is eliminated. Step 3: Solve the above equation. 3 ( 13 + y ) + 5 y = 295 39 + 3 y + 5 y = 295 ( Apply the distributive property ) 8 y = 295 − 39 &

Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.
