Equal Values Method

Front

What is the Equal Values Method?

Back

A method used to solve systems of equations by setting the equations equal to each other.

Front

How do you apply the Equal Values Method?

Back

1. Set the two equations equal to each other. 2. Solve for one variable. 3. Substitute back to find the other variable.

Front

What is a system of equations?

Back

A set of two or more equations with the same variables.

Front

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

Back

It means the lines represented by the equations are parallel and never intersect.

Front

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

Back

It means the equations represent the same line, and every point on the line is a solution.

Front

Back

x = 1, y = -2.

Front

Back

YES, because both equations are satisfied.

Front

What is the graphical representation of a system of equations?

Back

The graphical representation is the intersection point(s) of the lines on a coordinate plane.

Front

What is the significance of the intersection point in a system of equations?

Back

The intersection point represents the solution to the system, where both equations are satisfied.
