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 by substitution?

Back

It involves solving one equation for one variable and substituting that expression into the other equation.

Front

What is the first step in solving a system of equations by substitution?

Back

Isolate one variable in one of the equations.

Front

If y = 2x + 3, what is y when x = 4?

Back

y = 2(4) + 3 = 11.

Front

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

Back

(0, 2).

Front

How do you check if a solution is correct for a system of equations?

Back

Substitute the solution back into both original equations to see if they hold true.

Front

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

Back

The lines represented by 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

Solve the system by substitution: x + y = 5, y = 2x - 1.

Back

(2, 3).
