Systems of Linear Equations
Content Area: Algebra 1, Solving Systems of Grade Level: 9th , 10th
Equations
CA Content Standard(s)/Common Core Standard(s):

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.A.1
Explain each step in solving a simple equation as following from the equality of numbers
asserted at the previous step, starting from the assumption that the original equation has a
solution. Construct a viable argument to justify a solution method.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.C.5
Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the
sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.C.6
Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on
pairs of linear equations in two variables.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.C.7
Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables
algebraically and graphically. For example, find the points of intersection between the line y =
-3x and the circle x2 + y2 = 3.
Big Ideas/Unit Goals:

Introduction to solving system of equations that are more than one variable.
In what ways can we solve systems of equations when given an equation and determine which
method is the best.
How can we determine if a solution has infinite, one or no solutions by the methods discussed.
Solve and set up equations based off of real life situations.
Justify and explain given systems and their solutions.
How to interpret consistent/ inconsistent functions algebraically and graphically.
From the knowledge given above, how can we make a system inconsistent/consistent to
consistent/inconsistent then explain how.

Unit Summary:

In this unit, students will understand that systems of equations of two variables which consist or x
and y and their methods. Students will learn how to solve the system of equations by the following:
substitution, graphing or elimination. This unit plan will also help identify whether a system has no
solution, one solution or infinitely many solutions. It is also to challenge students on what type of
methods they would prefer when it comes to seeing these systems in the future. Also, real life word
problem examples will be shown in this unit plan to help you understand how to write down the
system of equations. This unit will consist of various activities provided above assessments and
lesson. This course also offers more help by providing resources outside of the classroom which will
help you understand the material better.
