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.
