Identifying The Solutions For A
System Of Linear Equations

 The solution to a system of linear equations is a

point that satisfies both equations.

 To find the unique solution to a system of linear

equations, we must find a numerical value for
each variable in the system that will satisfy
all equations in the system at the same time.

 Note: If an ordered pair does not satisfy the first

equation, we can immediately conclude that
the ordered pair is not a solution to the system.
 2x + y = 15 In this example, the ordered pair (4, 7) is
(4,7); { 3x – y = 5 the solution to the system.

  2x + y = 15     3x – y = 5
To verify that an ordered pair is a
solution to a system of Linear • 2(4) + (7)= 15   • 3(4) − (7)= 5 
Equations, we can substitute • 8 + 7 = 15 • 12 – 7 = 5

system because it satisfies both
equations.
 Finding x-intercepts and y-intercepts
To find the x-intercept, set y = 0

To find the y-intercept, set x = 0

The Graph Of The System { x – y = -1

(-3, -2) is the solution of the system

because it is the point in which both
lines intersect. 
Solving a System of Linear Equations by Substitution
 First, solve one linear equation for y in terms of x.

3x + 2y = 16
{
7x + y = 19
 Then substitute that expression for y in the other linear equation.
 Then substitute x to either equation to find the y -coordinate.

7x + y = 19

y = 19 - 7x

y =19 -7(2)

y = 19 - 14

y=5

The solution is (2, 5) because x was equal to 2 in the previous equation

and y = 5 in the equation we substituted x in.
