Across
- 3. Solution – Occurs when equations have no point in common (parallel lines).
- 6. Solutions – Occurs when all equations represent the same line.
- 7. System – A system where all equations are linear (no exponents on variables).
- 9. System – A system with infinitely many solutions; equations represent the same line.
- 10. System – A system with exactly one solution; equations intersect at one point.
- 12. System – A system that has at least one solution.
- 13. System – A system with no solution; the lines are parallel.
Down
- 1. of Equations – A set of two or more equations with the same variables.
- 2. Matrix – A matrix made of just the coefficients of the variables in the system (used in advanced methods like matrix solving).
- 4. – A method of solving by adding or subtracting equations to eliminate a variable.
- 5. Pair – A pair of numbers (x, y) that represent a solution in two-variable systems.
- 8. Point – The point where the graphs of two equations meet; the solution.
- 11. – A method of solving by plotting equations and finding the intersection point.
- 14. – The value(s) of the variable(s) that satisfy all equations in the system.
- 15. – A method of solving by replacing one variable with an expression from another equation.
