Key Concepts

System of Equations

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations that are considered simultaneously, where the solution is the set of variable values that satisfy every equation in the system. These systems are commonly solved using methods such as substitution, elimination, or graphing, and they frequently appear in both theoretical and applied mathematics.

Linear Equations

Linear equations are algebraic equations in which the variables appear with a power of one, and their graphs are straight lines. In a system, such equations represent lines whose intersection, if any, corresponds to the solution of the system. Solving these equations involves finding the specific values of the variables that make all the equations true simultaneously.

Substitution Method

The substitution method is a technique for solving systems of equations by first isolating one variable in one of the equations, and then substituting that expression into the other equation(s). This approach simplifies the system by reducing the number of variables in the remaining equations, ultimately making it easier to solve for each variable.
