Solving Systems of Linear Equations
 
 
A
solution
of such a system is an ordered pair which is a solutionof each equation in the system.
Example
: The ordered pair (4, 1) is a solution of the system since3(4) + 2(1) = 14 and 2(4) – 5(1) = 3. A set of linear equations in two variables is calleda
system of linear equations
.3
 x
+ 2
 y
= 142
 x
+ 5
 y
= 3
Example
: The ordered pair (0, 7) is not a solution of the systemsince3(0) + 2(7) = 14 but 2(0) – 5(7) = – 35, not 3.
 
A system of equations with at least one solution is
consistent
.A system with no solutions is
inconsistent
.Systems of linear equations in two variables have either no solutions, one solution, or infinitely many solutions.
