A.CED. 2. Create equations in two or more variables to
represent relationships between quantities; graph
equations on coordinate axes with labels and scales.
A.CED. 3. Represent constraints by equations or
inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or
inequalities, and interpret solutions as viable or
nonviable options in a modeling context. For example,
represent inequalities describing nutritional and cost
constraints on combinations of different foods.
A.REI. 5. Prove that, given a system of two equations
in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of
that equation and a multiple of the other produces a
system with the same solutions.
A.REI. 6. Solve systems of linear equations exactly and
approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of
linear equations in two variables.
A.REI. 12. Graph the solutions to a linear inequality in
two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary
in the case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution
set to a system of linear inequalities in two variables as
the intersection of the corresponding half-planes.

A system of linear equations is __________________________________________________________
_________________________________. A solution of a system of linear equations with two variables is
_________________________________________________________________________________.
Special Note: If the lines are parallel, there is NO SOLUTION to the system. If the lines are on top of each
other (in other words, they are the same line), then EVERY POINT on the line is a solution to the system.
Example 1. Tell whether
the ordered pair (6, -1) is a
solution of the system:
1
𝑦 = 3𝑥 − 3
[
6𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 12
Example 2. Solve the system by graphing. Check your answer.
3𝑥 + 𝑦 = −8
[
−2𝑥 − 𝑦 = 6
a) Put both lines in slope-intercept form.
b) Graph. Use graph paper and a straight edge. BE PRECISE!
c) Find point of intersection.
Solution always written as ordered pair: ( ___ , ___ )
