This video is the first in a series on systems of equations, providing an introduction to the topic. It explains what a system of equations is, using examples with two equations and two variables. The video demonstrates how to determine if an ordered pair is a solution to a system by substituting values into the equations. It also highlights that the ultimate goal is to find solutions that satisfy both equations in a system. Various techniques for solving systems, such as substitution, elimination, and graphing, are mentioned as future topics in the series.

What is a system of equations?

• An equation with no variables

• A single equation with one variable

• Two or more equations with the same variables

• A set of unrelated equations

What does the ordered pair (3, -2) represent in the context of systems of equations?

• A random pair of numbers

• Values for X and Y in a system of equations

• A point on a graph

• A solution to a single equation

How do you verify if an ordered pair is a solution to a system of equations?

• By solving the equations separately

• By checking if it satisfies only one equation

• By substituting the values into both equations

• By graphing the equations

In the first system of equations, what was the result of substituting (3, -2) into the first equation?

• It resulted in zero

• It satisfied the equation

• It resulted in a negative number

• It did not satisfy the equation

Why was (3, -2) not a solution for the first system of equations?

• It resulted in a negative number

• It only satisfied one of the equations

• It satisfied both equations

• It was not a valid ordered pair
