Guided Notes
Key concepts students will learn:
- •
When solving systems of equations with two variables, the solution is the ordered pair that makes both equations true.
- •
In the substitution method, we replace a variable with an equivalent expression to solve the system.
- •
When using substitution, once you solve for x, you can substitute that value into either equation to solve for y.
