6 6.1 Introduction to Systems of Linear Equations SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS A system of equations (or simultaneous equations) is a set of two or more equations in the same variables considered at the same time. In this unit we will learn about systems of two linear equations in two variables. To solve a system of equations, find the values of the variables that satisfy both equations simultaneously. A system of equations is consistent if it has at least one solution. A system of two linear equations in two variables is consistent if it has (a) exactly one solution (independent) or (b) infinitely many solutions (dependent). A system of two equations is inconsistent if it has no solutions Two systems of linear equations are graphed below. Refer to the graphs and write whether each system of equations appears to have exactly one solution (independent) or no solutions (inconsistent). Explain your reasoning for each answer Sketch the graphs for the following system of linear equations.

Understand and be able to use the substitution and elimination methods for solving systems. Use the addition property of equality, the multiplication property of equality, and the substitution property to manipulate expressions and equations The transitive property of equality states that if a = b and b = c, then a = c. 1. Given: Andre is the same height as Betty. Betty is the same height as Cleo. What can we conclude about the relative heights of Andre and Cleo? A variation of the transitive property of equality is the substitution property of equality, which states that if a = b, then a can replace b in any equation or inequality. 2.

Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations: Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6. Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations: Solve real-world and mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables. Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales. 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. 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. Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables. Understand that the graph of an equation in two variables is the set of all its solutions plotted in the coordinate plane, often forming a curve (which could be a line). Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in two variables as a half plane (excluding the boundary in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-planes STANDARDS FOR MATHEMATICAL PRACTICE Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
