Quiz : Solving using Substitution
Instructions: Please complete this quiz by choosing the correct answer for each question. You can take this quiz as many times needed.
Question #1
The first step for solving using substitution, is to solve for a variable.
Question #2

What should you do once you solve for the first variable in terms of the other?

Question #3
You don't have to use parthenthesis when you subsitute in a value. 
Question #4

Its called the substitution method because I can substitute in a value to replace one variable and now...

Question #5
Before I use inverse opperations to solve, I have to combine like terms that are on the same side (if neccessary).
Question #6

Once you have identified the specifc value of x or y, you now...

Question #7

How should you write the solution to a system of equations?

Question #8
The solution only has to satify one equation in the system.
Question #9
If you solve the same system using substitution and by graphing, you will get different answers.  
Question #10

How do you begin solving a system of equations word problem?
