Extra Practice: Using Your Calculator to Find Solutions
1. Use your calculator to find the solution to each system of equations. Write the solution and a
description of how you used your calculator to find and verify the solution.
Remember: You need to rewrite the equations in the form y = mx + b to work with your
calculator.
Note: If the calculator gives the value .6666666667 or X=.66666666666666 in Solver, the exact answer is most likely X =

.
Explain how you found the exact answer if the calculator only gave an approximate answer. Verify your answer!
a. y = L1.2x + 3.725
