Card 1Solving linear equations by substitution

Solve for y: 2x - y = 4 when x = 3.

Answer

Step 1: Substitute x = 3 into 2x - y = 4. 2(3) - y = 4 Step 2: Simplify. 6 - y = 4 Step 3: Subtract 6 from both sides. -y = -2 Step 4: Multiply by -1. y = 2 Answer: y = 2

Card 2Solving simultaneous equations

Solve the simultaneous equations: x + y = 4 and 2x - y = 2.

Answer

Step 1: Add the equations. (x + y) + (2x - y) = 4 + 2 3x = 6 Step 2: Solve for x. x = 2 Step 3: Substitute x = 2 in x + y = 4. 2 + y = 4 Step 4: Solve for y. y = 2 Answer: x = 2, y = 2

Card 3Ordered pairs for graphing

Find two ordered pairs for the equation x + y = 4.

Answer

Step 1: Choose easy values of x. If x = 0, then y = 4, so one point is (0, 4). Step 2: Choose another value. If x = 2, then y = 2, so another point is (2, 2). Step 3: Check. 0 + 4 = 4 and 2 + 2 = 4. A

Card 4Graphical meaning of solution

Find the point of intersection of the lines x + y = 4 and 2x - y = 2.

Answer

Step 1: Solve the equations together. x + y = 4 2x - y = 2 Step 2: Add them. 3x = 6 x = 2 Step 3: Substitute x = 2 into x + y = 4. 2 + y = 4 y = 2 Step 4: The intersection point is the solution. Answe

Card 5Method selection

When do you use the graphical method for two linear equations in two variables?

Answer

Use it when you want to find the common point of two straight lines. Step 1: Draw each line using at least two ordered pairs. Step 2: See where the lines meet. Step 3: The meeting point gives the solu

Card 6Concept understanding

Why does a linear equation in two variables graph as a straight line?

Answer

Each equation gives many ordered pairs that satisfy it. Step 1: Plot a few satisfying points. Step 2: All points lie on one straight path. Step 3: That path is the graph of the equation. Example: For

Card 7General form of a linear equation

Write the general form of a linear equation in two variables and solve: 3x = 4y - 12 is written in what form?

Answer

General form: ax + by + c = 0 Step 1: Bring all terms to one side. 3x = 4y - 12 3x - 4y + 12 = 0 Step 2: Check the form. It matches ax + by + c = 0. Answer: 3x - 4y + 12 = 0

Card 8Identifying linear equations

Is 4m + 3n = 12 a linear equation in two variables?

Answer

Step 1: Check the powers of the variables. m and n each have degree 1. Step 2: Check the form. It can be written as 4m + 3n - 12 = 0. Step 3: Both variables are present and no variable is squared or i
