• An equation is said to be linear if every variable has degree equal to one (or zero)
• is a linear equation
• is NOT a linear equation

Review these familiar techniques for solving 2 equations in 2 variables. The same techniques will be
extended to accommodate larger systems.

These systems are said to be EQUIVALENT because they have the SAME SOLUTION.
PERFORM ANY OF THESE OPERATIONS ON A SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATIONS TO
PRODUCE AN EQUIVALENT SYSTEM:
• INTERCHANGE two equations (or lines)
• REPLACE Ln with k Ln , k is NOT ZERO
• REPLACE Ln with Ln + cLm
• note: Ln is always part of what replaces it.

To solve the following system, we look for an equivalent systemwhose solution is more obvious. In the process, we manipulateonly the numerical coefficients, and it is not necessary to rewritevariable symbols and equal signs:
