Question

What type of solutions do the methods for solving systems of equations find and how does this relate to setting the equations equal to each other?

Answer 1

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations that share two or more unknowns. The solutions to a system of equations are all the values that make all of the equations true, or the points where the graphs of the equations intersect. We can solve a system of linear equations through graphing, substitution and linear combination. Systems of nonlinear functions, such as quadratic or exponential equations, can be handled with the same techniques.
