Solving Systems of Equations

Front

What is a system of equations?

Back

A set of two or more equations with the same variables that are solved together.

Front

What does it mean to solve a system of equations?

Back

Finding the values of the variables that satisfy all equations in the system simultaneously.

Front

What is the graphical representation of a system of equations?

Back

The solution is represented by the point(s) where the graphs of the equations intersect.

Front

What is the substitution method in solving systems of equations?

Back

A method where one equation is solved for one variable, and that expression is substituted into the other equation.

Front

What is the elimination method in solving systems of equations?

Back

A method where equations are added or subtracted to eliminate one variable, making it easier to solve for the other.

Front

What does it mean if a system of equations has no solution?

Back

The lines representing the equations are parallel and never intersect.

Front

What does it mean if a system of equations has infinite solutions?

Back

The equations represent the same line, meaning every point on the line is a solution.

Front

How do you determine if a system of equations is consistent or inconsistent?

Back

A consistent system has at least one solution, while an inconsistent system has no solutions.

Front

What is the solution to the system: 2x + 3y = 6 and x - y = 1?

Back

(3, 0) is the solution.

Front

What is the solution to the system: 4x + 2y = 12 and y = 3x - 14?

Back

(4, -2) is the solution.
