Teach it
Where it is taught, with guided notes, practice, homework, an exit ticket and an interactive Teacher Deck.
Examples
- (2, 3) solves both y = x + 1 and y = −x + 5.
- Check the pair in every equation.
Key rule
A true solution makes each equation in the system true.
Memory hook
One pair that works in every equation.
