Solving Systems of Equations - Create your Own!
Use the applet below for practice on the Substitution Method.
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Create a problem by setting initial values for a, b, c, m, and n using the sliders. Set "steps" to 0.
2. On a separate sheet, solve the equations shown on the applet using the substitution method. Follow the working demo.
3. Confirm your answer by moving the slider marked "steps." This will show you a step by step solution to the particular system of linear equations that you have created.
4. If your answer is correct, create a new problem by changing the values of a, b, c, m, and n using the sliders. If your answer is wrong, rework the problem and correct your mistakes before creating a new problem.
Repeat as many times as needed until you master the concept.
