Systems of Equations — Easy Worksheet 1

Grade 9 · MathSheets    Name: ____________________   Date: __________

Solve each system for x and y.

How to solve

Add the two equations so the y terms cancel, then divide to find x. Substitute x back into x + y = sum to find y. Write the answer as x = a, y = b.

Example

x + y = 0; x − y = -8

Answer: x = -4, y = 4

right so far
1. x + y = 1; x − y = 5
2. x + y = -6; x − y = -4
3. x + y = -2; x − y = 6
4. x + y = 8; x − y = 0
5. x + y = 0; x − y = -4
6. x + y = -3; x − y = 5
7. x + y = 8; x − y = -2
8. x + y = -4; x − y = -2
