2. Systems of Linear Equations
Two linear equations graphed on the SAME coordinate plane.
What are the THREE things that could happen?
They could CROSS or INTERSECT
They could NEVER CROSS or be PARALLEL
They could be ON TOP OF EACH OTHER or COINCIDE

3. Solving a System of Linear Equations
By Solving a System of Linear Equations, we are asking:
Are there any Values for x and y that will “satisfy” or make BOTH equations TRUE?
Is there a POINT that will make BOTH equations TRUE?
What is the POINT OF INTERSECTION of these two lines?
Find the values for x and y that will make BOTH equations TRUE.

4. Solving a System By Graphing 7.1
Transform each equation to Slope-Intercept Form
For EACH of the TWO equations:
PLOT the y – intercept, b
COUNT, rise over run using the Slope, m.
DRAW the straight line.
Cognitive Tutor Packet: Intro to Systems

5. Solving a System By Graphing 7.1
Transform each equation into Slope-Intercept Form.

6. Solving a System By Substitution 7.2
Transitive Property
A variable can be REPLACED with its equivalent.
If two equations equal the SAME thing, they must then EQUAL each other.
AND
THEN
The two equations are SET equal to each other

7. Solving a System By Substitution
Solve the first equation for x.
Substitute the expression in for x in the second equation.
Now SOLVE for y.
EXAMPLE:
Now we know y=2.
Substitute this into an equations to find x.

8. Solving a System By Elimination 7.3
Transitive Property
Replace a variable with its equivalent.
Set two expressions equal to each other, when they BOTH equal the same thing!
Property of Equality
Add or Subtract two equations to create a new equivalent equation.
Transform the look of an equation by multiplication.

15. Writing and Solving Systems
Slope –Intercept Form:
Total Cost scenarios with given rates of change.
The movie theater charges $8 per a ticket for its general customers. It offers a movie club discount of $5 per ticket if you join the club for a one-time fee of $15. How many movies would you have to go see to make joining the club beneficial?
Write a system. Let x = the number of movie tickets
y = total cost

16. Writing and Solving Systems
Standard or General Form:
Two different Items are given.
At a grocery store, a customer pays a total of $9.70 for 1.8 pounds of potato salad and 1.4 pounds of coleslaw. Another customer pays a total of $6.55 for 1 pound of potato salad and 1.2 pounds of coleslaw. How much do 2 pounds of potato salad and 2 pounds of coleslaw cost?
Write the system. Let: x = cost of potato salad
y = cost of coleslaw.
