Solutions of a System of Equations  A solution to a system of equations is an order pair that gives true results when plugged into both equations.  If one equation is a multiple of the other (ex: y = x+1 and 3y = 3 x + 3) then there are infinitely many solutions.  It is possible for the system to have no solution (ex: you solve get to where x 2 – x + 1 = 0 which has no real solution.)

6. Essential Questions: When and how do you solve a system of equations using the substitution method? When and how do you solve a system of equations using the elimination method? Students will write a summary explaining when to use each method and the steps for using each method. Solve by Substitution 1 ) Solve one equation for one variable. (ie get one of the equations to be x = or y =.) 2) Plug this into the other equation. 3) Solve for the variable. 4) Substitute the value you get into one of the equations and solve. Use Substitution when… The coefficient in front of x OR y is 1
