Solving Systems by Setting Equations Equal
When both equations are solved for y, students set them equal, solve for x, then find y.
Solving Systems by Substitution
Students substitute one equation into the other, distribute, combine like terms, and solve for both variables.
Solving Systems by Elimination
Students add or subtract to eliminate a variable, then multiply one or both equations to make opposites.
Special Cases - No Solution and Infinitely Many
Students solve equations and systems that are always, never or once true, and see what that means for the lines.
