Solve a system of two linear equations
When solving a system of two linear equations, you are finding the values of the variables that satisfy both equations simultaneously. This intersection point represents the solution to the system and corresponds to the values that make both equations true.
There are three common methods to solve a system of two linear equations: graphing, substitution, and elimination.
Graphing involves graphing both equations on the same coordinate plane and finding the point(s) where the lines intersect.
Substitution involves solving one equation for one variable and substituting that expression into the other equation to solve for the remaining variable.
Elimination involves adding or subtracting the equations to eliminate one variable and solve for the other.
