Systems of Linear Equations
A linear equation consists of variable terms whose exponents are always the number 1. When you have two variables, the equation can be represented by a line. With three terms, you can draw a plane to describe the equation. More than three variables is indescribable, because there are only three dimensions. When you have a system of linear equations, you can look for the values of the variables that work for all the equations in the system — the common solutions. Sometimes there’s just one solution, sometimes many, and sometimes there’s no solution at all.
The Problems You’ll Work On
In this chapter on systems of linear equations, you’ll see the following:
Determining the point of intersection of two lines
Finding a single point of intersection of three planes
Writing expressions for multiple solutions of systems
Writing systems in the echelon form or reduced row echelon form
Decomposing fractions using systems of linear equations
What to Watch Out For
Don’t let common mistakes trip you up; watch for the following ones when working with systems of linear equations:
Trying to eliminate more than one variable when solving a system
Distributing negative numbers incorrectly over several terms
Writing the coordinates of ordered pairs and ordered triples in the incorrect positions
Placing the incorrect numerator over its denominator when decomposing fractions
Solving Systems of Two Linear Equations
651–660 Solve the system of two linear equations for x and y.
