To solve a system of two equations in two variables, find all ordered pairs, if any, which are solutions of both

equations. **The graph of a linear equation in two variables is a straight line.** When a line intersects the y-axis what is the value of x?= 0 A system of equations is consistent if it has at least one solution. If it has no solution it is inconsistent. The equations are dependent if the system has infinitely many solutions. If it has exactly one solution or no solution it is independent. Solve the system of equations by graphing. Then classify the system X+y=15 x-y= 1 x+y=15 if x=6 then 6+y=15 Y=9 (6,9) X+y=15 If y=5 then X+5=15 X=10 (10,5) x-y=1 if x =0 then 0-y=1 Y=-1 (0,-1) x-y=1 y=0 then x-0=1 x=-1 (1,0)

Solve by the SUBSTITUTION method 6x-8y= -12 3x+24=y st The 1 step is to solve an equation for one variable. If the coefficient of a variable is 1 or -1, it is easier to solve for that variable. The 2nd equation is already solved for y so it is easiest to use. Next, substitute (3x+24) for y into the other original equation. Remember to use parentheses when you substitute. Then remove them carefully. Substitute (3x+24) for y 6x-8(3x+24) = -12 Use the distributive law 6x-24x-192= -12 Collect like terms-18x=180 Finally, solve for x X= -10 Now return to the equations in the problem statement, Substitute for x in either equation to solve for y. Since the second equation is already solved for y it will be easier to use.
