Section 3.1Introduction to Systems of Equations Any pair of Linear Equations can be a System
A Solution Point must make both equations true When plotted on the same graph, the solution is
the point where the lines cross (intersection) Some systems do not have a solution

Why Study Systems of Equations?
We will first study systems of 2 equations in 2 unknowns (usually x and y)
The methods we use to solve them will also be useful in higher degree systems that involve quadratic equations or systems of 3 equations in 3 unknowns

Guessing … How about 70 first class stamps and 50 postcard stamps?
37(70)= 2590 23(50)= 1150 sum is 3740 ! Oops, we need a better way
37(100)=$37.00 Oops, way too much!
