You could choose whatever values you like for all but one of the variables, and then final variable can always be made to fit. (24 votes) jeremy jones 5 years agoPosted 5 years ago.

A solution of ...” Bro chill. A solution of an equation is when both sides (i.e., LHS and RHS) become equal. What do you need to do to make both sides equal? Well, you need to find some values for X and Y so that they become equal when you plug X values wherever X and Y are. Here, some of the solutions are given, but we need to check after plugging them in it makes both sides of the equation equal. (like 1 = 1 , 2 = 2, BUT if you get 1 = 2, or 3 = 4 it is clear that it is false and hence the values of X or Y or both are wrong and hence, not the solution[s] ) (14 votes) Leigh, Daniel; 200409266 7 years agoPosted 7 years ago.

If you have two quadratic equations, there is also a possibility of having two different intersections, not just one. (14 votes) Sara Velasco 8 years agoPosted 8 years ago.

Direct link to Kim Seidel's post “By now you should be fami...” By now you should be familiar with the concept of testing solutions to equations by using substitution. If you are asked if a point is a solution to an equation, we replace the variables with the given values and see if the 2 sides of the equation are equal (so is a solution), or not equal (so not a solution). A solution to a system of equations means the point must work in both equations in the system. So, we test the point in both equations. It must be a solution for both to be a solution to the system. Hope this helps. (6 votes) joseline.ramirez 5 years agoPosted 5 years ago.

Direct link to Kim Seidel's post “The example in the video ...” The example in the video is about as simple as it gets. Neither equation has fractions or decimals. The video is show you how to determine if an ordered pair (a point) is a solution to a system of equation. Sal has one point that he is testing to see if it is a solution to the system. In order for this to be true, the point must work in both equations (i.e., the 2 sides of each equation come out equal). He does the test by substituting the values from the ordered pair into each equation and simplifying. Hope this helps. (7 votes) sophia gonzalez 4 years agoPosted 4 years ago.

For example, if you had the equation ax + by + cz = k, then whatever you pick for y and z, you can solve for x to get x = (k - by - cz)/a, and the equation will be satisfied.
As a reminder, parallel lines have the exact same slope.
-- The point works in the 1st equation.
-- The point did not work in the 2nd equation.
This tells us the point in on the line created by the first equation, but it is not a point on the line created by the 2nd equation. Remember, to be solution to the system, the point must work for both equations. Since it didn't, the point is not a solution to the system.
