Here we will review how to solve a system of equations in two variables and find the absolute extrema of a function of one variable.\r\n<h2>Solve a System of Equations in Two Variables<\/h2>\r\nA <strong>system of linear equations<\/strong> consists of two or more linear equations made up of two or more variables such that all equations in the system are considered simultaneously. To find the unique solution to a system of linear equations, we must find a numerical value for each variable in the system that will satisfy all equations in the system at the same time. Some linear systems may not have a solution and others may have an infinite number of solutions. In order for a linear system to have a unique solution, there must be at least as many equations as there are variables. Even so, this does not guarantee a unique solution.\r\n\r\nWe will first look at systems of linear equations in two variables, which consist of two equations that contain two different variables. For example, consider the following system of linear equations in two variables.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">[latex]\\begin{gathered}2x+y=15\\\\ 3x-y=5\\end{gathered}[\/latex]<\/div>\r\nThe <em>solution<\/em> to a system of linear equations in two variables is any ordered pair that satisfies each equation independently. In this example, the ordered pair (4, 7) is the solution to the system of linear equations. We can verify the solution by substituting the values into each equation to see if the ordered pair satisfies both equations. Shortly we will investigate methods of finding such a solution if it exists.\r\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">[latex]\\begin{align}2\\left(4\\right)+\\left(7\\right)&amp;=15&amp;&amp;\\text{True} \\\\ 3\\left(4\\right)-\\left(7\\right)&amp;=5&amp;&amp;\\text{True} \\end{align}[\/latex]<\/div>\r\nTwo of the most common ways to solve a <strong>system of linear equations<\/strong> are the\u00a0<strong>substitution method<\/strong> and the <strong>a<\/strong><strong>ddition (elimination) method<\/strong>.\r\n<h3>The Substitution Method<\/h3>\r\n<div class=\"textbox\">\r\n<h3>How To: Given a system of two equations in two variables, solve using the substitution method.<\/h3>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li>Solve one of the two equations for one of the variables in terms of the other.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Substitute the expression for this variable into the second equation, then solve for the remaining variable.<\/li>\r\n \t<li>Substitute that solution into either of the original equations to find the value of the first variable.
