standard_description: Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations.
problem_activity: Problem 1
Without solving the systems, explain why the following system must have the same solution.
{"table": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["table"], "style": "width:100%"}, "tbody": [{"tr": [{"td": [{"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "System 1:"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${4x-5y=13 }$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${3x+6y=11}$$"}]}]}, {"p": [{"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "_value": "System 2:"}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${8x-10y=26}$$"}]}, {"_attributes": {"style": "text-align:center"}, "span": [{"_attributes": {"class": ["math-tex"]}, "_value": "$${x-11y=2}$$"}]}]}]}]}]}]}
Problem 2
Solve the system of equations by writing a new system that eliminates one of the variables.
$${3x+2y=4}$$
$${4x+7y=1}$$
