    Systems of Equations

    Suppose we wished to cut a 10-foot length of conduit into


    two pieces such that one piece is 4 feet longer than the other.
    We are looking for two numbers whose sum is 10 and whose
    difference is 4. If we let x represent the larger of the two
    numbers and y the other number, we immediately get two
    equations.

    We call such an arrangement a system of two equations in two


    variables.

    Solution of a Systems of Equations

    A solution of a system of 12
    equations is an ordered pair that
    8
    satisfies both equations at the
    same time. Is there such an 4
    ordered pair? Is there more
    then one such pair? To answer 4 8 12
    10
    these questions, we can look at
    the graph of these two
    equations on the same
    coordinate system.

    Solution of a Systems of Equations

    To be sure that (7, 3) is a


    12
    solution of both equations, we
    can check by substituting 7 for 8
    x and 3 for y in both equations.

    Solution of a Systems of Equations


    Given the following system of equations, determine whether the
    given ordered pair is a solution of the system.
    The ordered pair must be a solution
    of both equations to be a solution.

    A solution of the system.

    Deciding Whether an ordered Pair is a Solution

    Given the following system of equations, determine whether the


    given ordered pair is a solution of the system.
    Since the ordered pair is not a solution of
    the first equation, we need not check
    further; the ordered pair is not a solution.

    Not a solution of the system.

    5.1 Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables

    Some Special Systems


    We could get equation (1) by multiplying equation (2) by 3.
    Because of this, equations (1) and (2) are equivalent and
    have the same graph.

    The solution set is the set of all (infinite number of) points on
    the line with equation 3x + 4y = 6, written
    {(x, y) | 3x + 4y = 6}
    and read “the set of all ordered pairs (x, y) such that
    3x + 4y = 6.”
    This is a dependent system of equations.
