(8, 2)
The sum of two numbers is 104. Their difference is 68. What are the numbers?
86 and 18
The y-coordinate of a point where a line, curve, or surface intersects the y-axis
y-intercept
Write the following equation in slope-intercept form:
3x + 4y = 24
y = -3/4x + 6
The solution to the system
y = x - 2
3x - y = 16

It is a location on a coordinate grid. (x, y)
Ordered pair
Write the following equation in slope-intercept form: 3x + 9y= 18
y = -1/3x + 2
The solution to the system
3s - 2t = 4
t = 2s - 1

The dimensions of a rectangle whose perimeter is 78 inches, when the length of the rectangle is twice its width
26x13
If two equations have variables with the same coefficient, like 3x + 2y = 10 and 3x + y = 6, then we can subtract the equations to get rid of the 3x terms.
Elimination method
Write the following equation in slope-intercept form: 18x + 27y = 162
y = -2/3x + 6
The solution to the system of equations:
y = 3x + 2
y = 3x - 2
