Discussion Topic Systems of equations are bundles of equations that all relate to a common
problem. For instance, combine two equations that each give the distance ly)
that two different cars drive in a given amount of time(x) to form a system of
equations:
y = 60x + 5
y = 40x + 40
One value of x will yield the same value of y in each equation. What does this
solution represent in this situation? Can you think of any other scenarios where
two linked equations could provide a useful answer? How do systems of
equations make problems easier to comprehend?
