Course description
In this course, you'll learn to solve systems of two linear equations by exploring situations where two constraints must be satisfied at the same time. You'll start by interpreting real-world scenarios with two unknowns, then move to graphing lines and finding their intersection. You'll solve systems algebraically using substitution and elimination, and learn to recognize when a system has no solution or infinitely many solutions. Finally, you'll extend these ideas to systems of inequalities, identifying and graphing the regions where multiple constraints overlap.
