This lesson covers solutions to systems of equations, focusing on determining the number of solutions and solving them using the substitution method. Key vocabulary and concepts are introduced, followed by examples and practice exercises. Students are guided through the process of identifying no, one, or infinite solutions and using algebraic methods to find solutions without graphing.

What is a system of equations?

• A single linear equation

• A group of unrelated equations

• A set of linear equations related to the same situation

• A quadratic equation

What does it mean if two lines in a system are parallel?

• The system has one solution

• The system is undefined

• The system has no solution

• The system has infinite solutions

How can you determine if a system of equations has infinite solutions?

• The slopes and intercepts are the same

• The slopes are different

• The equations are quadratic

• The intercepts are different

What is the first step in the substitution method?

• Graph the equations

• Find the y-intercept

• Convert equations to standard form

• Ensure equations are in slope-intercept form

In the substitution method, what do you do after setting y = y?

• Find the slope

• Graph the equations

• Check for parallel lines

• Solve for x using properties of equality

What is the solution to a system of equations?

• A linear inequality

• A quadratic equation

• A set of coordinates (x, y)

• A single number

What should you do if the slopes of two equations are different?

• Assume there is no solution

• Assume there is one solution

• Assume the system is inconsistent

• Assume there are infinite solutions

How can simplifying equations help in solving systems?

• It eliminates the need for graphing

• It changes the solution

• It helps identify if the equations are the same

• It makes the equations more complex

What is the purpose of the homework helper?

• To offer unrelated math problems

• To replace the lesson

• To provide additional examples and solutions

• To give incorrect answers

What should you do if you need help with the problem set?

• Ignore the problems

• Ask the teacher for help

• Skip the questions

• Copy from a friend
