3.1 System of Equations

What is a linear system?


• A "system" of equations is a set or collection of equations that you
deal with all together at once. Linear equations (ones that graph as
straight lines) are simpler than non-linear equations, and the
simplest linear system is one with two equations and two variables.

What is the method of substitution?


The method of solving "by substitution" works by solving one of
the equations (you choose which one) for one of the variables
(you choose which one), and then plugging this back into the
METHODS SOLVING

other equation, "substituting" for the chosen variable and solving


for the other. Then you back-solve for the first variable.

How do you do the elimination method?


In order to use the elimination method, you have to create
variables that have the same coefficient—then you can eliminate
them. Multiply the top equation by 5. Next add the equations, and
solve for y. Substitute y = 10 into one of the original equations to
find x.

How do you solve a system of equations graphically?


The first step is to graph each of the given equations, then find the
point of intersection of the two lines, which is the solution to
the system of equations. If the two lines are parallel, then the
solution to the system is the null set.
