System of Equations 3.

The system has no solution; the equations of the system are said to be

several variables. The resulting equations are called a system of
equations.
 A solution of a system of equations is an assignment of values to each of
the variables such that each of the equations is satisfied. The set of all
possible solutions of a system of equations is called the solution set.

System of Linear Equations


A linear system may behave in any one of the three possible ways:
1. The system has infinitely many solutions; the equations of the system
are said to be consistent and dependent and their graphs are the same
line. Methods of Solving System of Linear Equations in Two Variables:
1. Graphical Method. Geometrically, the graphs of a pair of linear
equations are coinciding lines, intersecting lines (at exactly one point),
or parallel lines.
2. Elimination Method. Elimination of one variable either by addition or
subtraction.
3. Substitution Method. Solve one equation for one variable in terms of
the other variable then substitute it in the other equation to solve for
the other variable.

2. The system has a single unique solution; the equations of the system are Methods of Solving Systems of Linear Equations in Three Variables:
said to be consistent and independent and their graphs intersect in Algebraic methods for finding the solution set of a system of linear
exactly one point. equations in three variables are analogous to those used to solve linear
systems in two variables.
1. Elimination Method.
2. Substitution Method.
3. Cramer’s Rule.
The Cramer’s rule is another method for obtaining values of the
unknowns for a given system of 𝑛 linear equations in 𝑛 variables.
Note: If 𝐷 ≠ 0, then the system has a unique solution; otherwise, the
system is either inconsistent or dependent. Moreover, when there are
many equations (e.g., if 𝑛 > 3), it is tedious to apply Cramer’s rule.
