How can I tell what the solution to a consistent system of linear equations is by looking at a graph of the system?
+100 points each for describing what the solution looks like for an inconsistent and/or dependent system.
Consistent: It is the intersection point of the lines.
Inconsistent: No solution, the lines are parallel
Dependent: Infinite solutions, the lines completely overlap
These are the three ways to solve a system of equations.
Graphing, Substitution, Elimination
Is the following system of equations set up for substitution? Why or why not?
y=3x+4
y=5x-2
Yes, because we can substitute one y into the other to get:
3x+4=5x-2
This continent has the most countries.
Africa - 54
What are the TWO conditions that coefficients must meet in order to be ready for elimination?
1: They must be the same number
2: They must have opposite signs
How many solutions will a system of equations have if the two graphs have different slopes but the same y-intercept?
One solution
What console is needed to play this game?
Nintendo Wii
Write a single variable equation that could help you solve the following system. Do not distribute. (In other words, substitute)
y=3x+10
2x-7y=6
2x-7(3x+10)=6
What brand is this the logo for?
Lacoste
What must be done for this to be ready for elimination? Which variable is being eliminated?
2x-3y=10
3x+6y=8
Multiply the 1st equation by 2. Eliminate the y's
Write the system of equations in slope-intercept form.
y=-2/3x-4
y=x+1
This cylindrical monument in a town outside of Florence, Italy is structurally sound and is at no risk of collapsing...so they claim.

A frog is at the bottom of a 30-foot well. Each day it climbs up 3 feet, but slips back 2 feet each night. How many days will it take for the frog to reach the top of the well?
28 Days
Solve the following system of equations by substitution:
-x+y=8
