System of Equations

Definition

A system of equations refers to a set of two or more equations that are solved simultaneously to find the values of the variables that satisfy all the equations.

Linear Equations: These are equations with variables raised to the power of 1, resulting in straight lines when graphed.

Nonlinear Equations: These are equations with variables raised to powers other than 1, resulting in curved or non-straight lines when graphed.

Solution Set: The solution set is the collection of values for the variables that make all the equations in a system true at the same time.
