Definition (Systems of Equations in Two Variables)
Given the linear system

                                 ax + by = h
                                 cx + dy = k

A pair of numbers x = x0 , y = y0 [also written as an ordered
pair (x0 , y0 ) is said to be a solution of the system if each
equation is satisfied by the pair. The set of all such ordered
pairs is called the solution set for the system. To solve a
system is to find its solution set.

We will consider three methods for solving such systems:
graphing, substitution, and elimination by addition.                       university-logo

Definition (Systems of Linear Equations: Basic Terms)
A system of linear equations is consistent if it has one or more
solutions and inconsistent if no solutions exist. Furthermore, a
consistent system is said to be independent if it has exactly
one solution and dependent if it has more than one solution.
Two systems of equations are equivalent if they have the same
solution set.

Example: At $4.80 per bushel, the annual supply for soybeans
in the Midwest is 1.9 billion bushels and the annual demand is
2.0 billion bushels. When the price increases to $5.10 per
bushel, the annual supply increases to 2.1 billion bushels and
the annual demand decreases to 1.8 billion bushels. Assume
that the supply and demand equations are linear.

    Systems in TwoVariables Graphing Substitution Elimination by Addition Applications Definition (Systems of Linear Equations: Basic Terms) A system of linear equations is consistent if it has one or more solutions and inconsistent if no solutions exist. Furthermore, a consistent system is said to be independent if it has exactly one solution and dependent if it has more than one solution. Two systems of equations are equivalent if they have the same solution set. university-logo Jason Aubrey Math 1300 Finite Mathematics
