Section 8.1 Solving Systems of Linear Equations by Graphing
Solve a system of two equations in two variables by graphing. A OBJECTIVES
B OBJECTIVES Determine whether a system of equations is consistent, inconsistent, or dependent.
C OBJECTIVES Solve an application.
SOLVING SYSTEMS OF SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS There are three possible solutions.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION 1 Consistent and independent equations: The graphs of the equations intersect at one point, whose coordinates give the solution of the system.
POSSIBLE SOLUTION 2 Inconsistent equations: The graphs of the equations are parallel lines; there is no solution for the system
POSSIBLE SOLUTION 3 Dependent equations: The graphs of the equations coincide (are the same). There are infinitely many solutions for the system.

Section 8.3 Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination
Solve a system of equations in two variables. A OBJECTIVES
B OBJECTIVES Determine whether a system of equations is consistent, inconsistent, or dependent.
C OBJECTIVES Solve an application.
ELIMINATION METHOD One or both equations in a system of simultaneous equations can be multiplied (or divided) by any nonzero number to obtain an equivalent system.
ELIMINATION METHOD In the equivalent system, the coefficients of x (or y) are opposites, thus eliminatingx or y when the equations are added.
