Study Notes
Solving Systems of Equations
- The first step in solving a system of equations is not explicitly stated, but it often involves writing the equations in a standard form and identifying the variables and constants.
Characteristics of Solutions
- If there is no solution to a system of equations, it means that there are no values of the variables that satisfy all the equations simultaneously, indicating an inconsistent system.
- If the solution to a system of equations is a pair of real numbers, it means that the system has a unique solution, and the values of the variables can be expressed as real numbers.
