4-6 Day 2 Practice "Solving System Word Problems"

Front

What is a system of equations?

Back

A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with the same variables. The solution is the point(s) where the equations intersect.

Front

How do you solve a system of equations graphically?

Back

To solve graphically, plot each equation on the same graph and identify the point(s) where they intersect.

Front

What does it mean to solve for a variable?

Back

Solving for a variable means isolating that variable on one side of the equation to find its value.

Front

What is the substitution method in solving systems of equations?

Back

The substitution method involves solving one equation for one variable and then substituting that expression into the other equation.

Front

What is the elimination method in solving systems of equations?

Back

The elimination method involves adding or subtracting equations to eliminate one variable, making it easier to solve for the other.

Front

What is a word problem in mathematics?

Back

A word problem is a mathematical problem expressed in words, requiring translation into equations to solve.
