8th Grade - Simultaneous Equations: Graphing Method

Today we learned how to solve simultaneous linear equations using the graphing method. Use your textbook to recall examples we discussed in class.

A system of two linear equations such as x + y = 6 and x – 2y = 3, is called a pair of simultaneous linear equations in two variables x and y.
A solution of this system is a pair of values of x and y that satisfy both equations. Thus, if a solution exists, it is the coordinates of the point of intersections of the graphs of the simultaneous equations.
