10-6 Systems of Equations

This document provides an overview of systems of equations and how to identify solutions to systems of equations. It defines a system of equations as a set of two or more equations containing two or more variables. The solution to a system is a set of values that satisfy all equations. It demonstrates how to check if an ordered pair is a solution by substituting the values into each equation. Finally, it shows how to solve a system of two equations graphically on a calculator.

Teacher……….okay then, by

Vocabulary
• System of equations: a set of two
or more equations that contain two or
more variables
• Solution of a system of equations:
a set of values that are solutions of
all of the equations. If the system has
two variables, the solutions can be
written as ordered pairs.
Identify Solutions of a System
of Equations
• Determine if each ordered pair is a solution of
the system of equations below.
• 2x + 3y =8 and x – 4y =15
• EX (- 2 , 4)
• To solve, plug in (x,y) into each equation. If
both equations prove true, it is a solution. If
either of them is false, it is not a solution.
• 2x + 3y = 8 x – 4y = 15
• 2(-2) + 3(4) = 8 (-2) – 4(4) = 15
• -4 + 12 = 8 (-2) – 16 = 15
• 8 = 8 True - 18 = 15 Not True
• (-2, 4) is Not a Solution
Identify Solutions of a System
of Equations
• ( 7, -2)
• 2x + 3y = 8
• 2(7) + 3(-2) = 8
• 14 + (-6) = 8
• 8 = 8 True
• x – 4y = 15
• (7) – 4(-2) = 15
• 7 – (-8) = 15
• 15 = 15 True
• (7, -2) IS A SOLUTION
Solving Systems of
Equations
• Solve the system of equations
• y = x + 3 and y = 2x + 5
• Enter equations on calculator
• Graph
• 2nd trace, 5 (intersect)
• (first curve) ENTER (second curve)
ENTER (guess?) ENTER
• (intersection) x = -2, y = 1
• (-2, 1) is the solution
