Systems of equations

Systems of two linear equations in two variables: practice and worksheets

Solve systems of two linear equations and interpret the intersection as a shared solution.

226 questions Foundation to advanced Grade 9

Concept overview

A solution to a system must satisfy both equations at the same time. Graphing, substitution, and elimination are equivalent methods, and the most efficient choice depends on the equations.

Key points

  • Use substitution when one variable is already isolated.
  • Use elimination when coefficients can be made opposites easily.
  • Parallel lines give no solution; the same line gives infinitely many solutions.

Worked example

For x + y = 9 and x − y = 3, adding the equations gives 2x = 12, so x = 6 and y = 3.
