Part 1: Decide whether you would use the graphing, substitution, or elimination method to solve the following system of equations. Explain, in complete sentences, why you chose that method.
Part 2: Solve the following system of equations and show all of your work.

5x + 3y = 8
y = −2x + 1

anonymous · Answer

since one of those equations is explicit in y, use substitution...

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

i would use substitution 

5x+3(-2x+1)=8
5x-6x+3=8
-x+3=8
    -3  -3
-x=5
x=-5

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

does that make sense @Viceroy ?

anonymous · Answer

It doesn't really make sense to me. Is that the answer?

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

that is the answer of the x variable, but you can also solve for y using x

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

y=-2(-5)+1
y=10+1
y=11

5(-5)+3y=8
-25+3y=8
+25      +25
3y=33
y=11

x=-5, y=11

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

then you could turn that into a slope intercept equation 
y=-5x+11

jamierox4ev3r · Answer

then, you could graph it if need. Does that make sense? if not, let me know what you want me to explain again
