2 6.1 Systems of Equations in Two Variables
A system of equations is two or more equations considered together. The following is an example of a linear system of equations. 2𝑥+3𝑦=4 3𝑥−2𝑦=−7 A solution of a system of equations in two variables is an ordered pair that is a solution of both equations. Graph both of the equations above using a graphing tool and determine the point in which they cross at the same point. This is the solution of the system.

3 6.1 Systems of Equations in Two Variables
A system of equations is a consistent system if it has at least one solution. A system of equations with no solution is an inconsistent system. A system of equations with exactly one solution is an independent system. A system of equations with an infinite number of solutions is a dependent system.

4 6.1 Systems of Equations in Two Variables
There are a couple of ways we can solve a system of equations. Substitution method where we solve one variable in one equation and plug that into the second equation. Elimination method where we manipulate each of the equations in order to eliminate one variable, solve for the other and substitute. Graph and identify. For the sake of time in this class, we will focus on the graphing method.

Using a graphing tool, graph the following to solve, if possible. 2𝑥−3𝑦=16 𝑥=2 3𝑥 −3𝑦=5 4𝑥−4𝑦=9 3 4 𝑥+ 1 3 𝑦= 𝑥+ 2 3 𝑦=0

6 6.1 Systems of Equations in Two Variables
Suppose that the number x of bushels of apples a farmer is willing to sell is given by 𝑥=100𝑝−25, where p is the price, in dollars, per bushel of apples. The number x of bushels a grocer is willing to purchase is given by 𝑥=−150𝑝+625, where p is the price per bushel of apples. Find the equilibrium price. Equilibrium price = break even point for both the farmer and grocer.

7 6.1 Systems of Equations in Two Variables
A plane flew 800 miles in 4 hours while flying with the wind. Against the wind, it took the plane 5 hours to travel 800 miles. Find the rate of the plane in calm air and the rate of the wind.

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers. Each number in a matrix is called an element of the matrix. The example below is called a 3 x −2 − We can create a matrix from a system of linear equations by using only the coefficients and constants. 2𝑥−3𝑦+𝑧=2 𝑥−3𝑧=4 4𝑥−𝑦+4𝑧=3 -- 2 − −3 4 − Augmented matrix Coefficient matrix… Constant Matrix
