GUIDED NOTES – 7.

1 SYSTEMS OF LINEAR EQUATIONS: TWO VARIABLES


LEARNING OBJECTIVES
In this section, you will:
 Solve systems of equations by graphing.
 Solve systems of equations by substitution.
 Solve systems of equations by addition.
 Identify inconsistent systems of equations containing two variables.
 Express the solution of a system of dependent equations containing two variables.

INTRODUCTION TO SYSTEMS OF EQUATIONS


 A system of linear equations consists of or more linear equations made up of two or more
variables such that all equations in the system are considered .
 A solution to a system of linear equations in two variables is any ordered pair that satisfies
equation independently.

Study the box in your textbook section titled “types of linear systems.”
 There are three types of systems of linear equations in two variables, and three types of solutions.

 Which type of system of linear equations has no solutions?

 Which type of system of linear equations has infinitely many solutions?

 Which type of system of linear equations has exactly one solution?

 Draw an example of an independent, inconsistent, and dependent linear system.
