Flashcard 11 - Next Generation Quantitative Reasoning, Algebra, and Statistics Flashcard Set for the ACCUPLACER Test

Graphing: graph each equation and find any point of intersection.

Substitution: solve one equation for a variable and substitute its expression into another equation to solve for the second variable.

Elimination: algebraically manipulate the equations such that combining them results in an equation containing only one variable.

There are more methods for solving a system of equations, but these 3 prove effective in most cases seen below the undergraduate level.
