The problem solving template is a tool which can be used to solve difficult problems. for this sample work you will use the problem solving template to set up and then solve the equation. complete each part of the template for the question and then solve the question with work shown in the "do" square. solve using substitution or elimination. remember, you must check your work. 5x + 3y = -15 -8x - 2y = 10 identify(2pts) : what is the problem? what do you need to find or do? what will your final answer look like? do you understand what is being asked and what you need to do?
