| Summary: | The focus of this lesson is the solving of systems of linear (first degree) equations. The equations in a system are studied together and the methods, both graphically & algebraically are explored.
After this lesson, you will be able to:
- identify the three types of systems of linear equations:
- consistent and independent
- consistent and dependent
- inconsistent
- solve systems of two linear equations graphically to find the ordered pair common to both graphs.
- solve systems of two linear equations algebraically using the:
- substitution method
- comparison method
- addition or subtraction (elimination) method
- solve systems of three linear equations by algebraic methods.
