Equations in Two Variables

A solution to a system

of two linear equations

in two variables

must make BOTH

equations TRUE.

• False

• True

How can you tell if a point is a solution to a system?

• It makes the first equation true.

• The (x,y) coordinates satisfy both equations

• It makes logical sense

• It makes neither equation negative

Alexandra finds that she can give 3 haircuts and 2 hair dyes in 315 minutes. Giving 2 haircuts and 4 hair dyes takes 450 minutes.  Which system of equations represents the situation?

• 3x + 2y = 315
  2x + 4y = 450

• 3x + 2y = 450
  2x + 4y = 315

• 2x + 2y = 315
  3x + 4y = 450
