Instructions
Play through this interactive game to learn about Solve Real World Problems With System Of Equations. Suitable for Grade 6, Grade 7, Grade 8.
Main Concepts
Solve systems of equations algebraically by substitution. Solve one of the equations and substitute the value for the variable into the second equation y=2x+4y and 3x+y=9, substitute y in the second equation with the first equation since y = y so 3x+(2x+4)=9, which will simplify to x = 1. This value of x can then be used to find y by substituting 1 with x e.g. in the first equation so, y=2⋅1+4 which simplifies so y = 6. Therefore, the solution is (1, 6)
Solutions for system of equations is an ordered pair and a solution to both equations.
A system of equations refers to a number of equations with an equal number of variables.
Solve real world problems using a system of equations where two quantities are compared to determine a real world context (ex. price of two methods of purchase)
Define variables and write the equations using consistent variables that refer to the same quantity.
The solution for a system of equations is an intersection of the graph of their two equations.
Solve mathematical problems leading to two linear equations in two variables.
