5. A system of linear equations is a set of two or more linear equations containing two or more variables. A solution of a system of linear equations with two variables is an ordered pair that satisfies each equation in the system. So, if an ordered pair is a solution, it will make both equations true.

6. Tell whether the ordered pair is a solution of the given system. Example 1A: Identifying Systems of Solutions (5, 2); The ordered pair (5, 2) makes both equations true. (5, 2) is the solution of the system. Substitute 5 for x and 2 for y in each equation in the system. 3 x – y = 13 2 – 2 0 0 0  0 3 (5) – 2 13 15 – 2 13 13 13  3 x – y 13

7. If an ordered pair does not satisfy the first equation in the system, there is no reason to check the other equations. Helpful Hint

11. All solutions of a linear equation are on its graph. To find a solution of a system of linear equations, you need a point that each line has in common. In other words, you need their point of intersection. The point (2, 3) is where the two lines intersect and is a solution of both equations, so (2, 3) is the solution of the systems. y = 2 x – 1 y = – x + 5

12. Sometimes it is difficult to tell exactly where the lines cross when you solve by graphing. It is good to confirm your answer by substituting it into both equations. Helpful Hint
