Solving systems of linear equations in two variables Dorothy Cheng

Guided Notes

1. Fill in the blank. A ________________ of equations consists of at least two equations in

which you simultaneously work with all the equations to solve for the point(s) of intersection.

2. Is the ordered pair a solution to the system? Show your work.

3 + 2 = 7 A. (1, 2) Yes or no? B. (5, -4) Yes or no?

{
5 + 2 = 9

3. Fill in the blank. Solutions to systems of equations are the _____________________ points
of the graphs of the equations.

4. Determine the relationship between the two lines and the number of solutions to this system.

Relationship: ___________ Relationship: ___________ Relationship: ___________

# of solutions: __________ # of solutions: __________ # of solutions: __________

5. Solve the system using substitution. Show all work.

Example B. = 3 + 8
{
= 3 3
Example C. 4 3 = 0
{
5 + = 0

6. Solve the system using elimination. Show all work.

Example B. 6 9 = 12
{
8 + 12 = 16

Example C. 4 = 14
{
7 + 28 = 13
