Unit 7: System of Equations
Over the next two weeks, we’ll be studying how to solve a system of equations both graphically and algebraically.
Essential Questions

What is a system of equations?

How can I solve a system of
equations by graphing?

How do I solve a pair of linear
equations simultaneously?

How many types of solutions are
possible in a system of equations?

How can I solve a system of
equations without graphing?

How can I translate a problem
situation into a system of
equations?
Learning Target
MCC8.EE.8: I can identify a system of equations and the appropriate solution. This means I know that a pair of linear
equations can be solved simultaneously. I know they can be solved either graphically or algebraically. When solving,
there are three types of solutions: one solution, no solution, and infinite solutions. I can also determine which type of
solution the system will have by analyzing both equations. Resources:

MCC8.EE.8: I can solve a system of equations by graphing. This means I can graph both linear equations on a
coordinate plane and determine the point of intersection. This intersection point is the solution because it is the only
ordered pair (x and y value) that will make both equations true at the same time. Resources:

MCC8.EE.8: I can solve a system of equations algebraically. This means that I can solve a system of equations by using
an appropriate method such as the transitive property, substitution, and elimination. I can also take a real-world
situation and translate it into a system of equations to solve. Resources:
