system of equations- a set of 2 or more equations
linear system- consists of linear equations only
solution of a system- a set of values for the variables that
makes all the equations true (where they cross)

a total of 7 bills that are worth $15 How many of each?3.2 Solving Systems Algebraically
When you don't want to graph... use algebra to solve.
substitution- 1) get one x or y by itself
2) substitute that value in the other equation
3) solve for that variable
4) substitute value into an original equation
5) write answer as ordered pair (x, y)
elimination- 1) get both x's or y's to "match" (same
coefficient) by multiplying one or both
equations *must be in same order*
2) add (coefficients different signs) or subtract
(same sign, subtract) WHOLE equations
3) this should eliminate a variable
4) follow steps 3-5 for substitution to finish
3.2 Solving Systems Algebraically
Solve each system. *Leave 3-4 lines*
4x+2y=7 2x + 3y=7 3x + 4y =10
y = 5x -2x + 5y=1 2x + 3y=7
3x + Sy = 13 4x - By = -26 3x + 2y=10
2x+y=4 -2x + By = 13 6x +4y=153.3 Systems of Inequalities
-remember all rules from 2.8 on graphing/shading
-two or more equations on SAME graph
*shade darker where all are shaded*
(this darker area is where the solutions are)

while in Algebra in America we shade the solution. For
this section, follow AICE guidelines!

Focus: the fixed point Directrix: the fixed line
How to write an equation/sketch a graph given the focus and directrix:
1) Graph focus and directrix to determine opening
2) Use given information and systems of equations to find h, k, and p *hint
directrix-minus*
3) Plug in (h,k) for vertex
“graph vertex and 2 other points that are equidistant from the directrix and focus*
4) Multiply p by 4 and put at beginning of right side *this is your equation*Derive the equation of the parabola and sketch the graph
given the focus and directrix:
1) Focus: (-3, 0) and Directrix: x=3
