options: Find the inverse of a matrix if it exists and use it to solve systems of linear equations (using technology for matrices of dimension 3 × 3 or greater).

Represent a system of linear equations as a single matrix equation in a vector variable.

Solve a simple system consisting of a linear equation and a quadratic equation in two variables algebraically and graphically. For example, find the points of intersection between the line y = –3x and the circle x^(2 )+ y^(2) = 3.

Prove that, given a system of two equations in two variables, replacing one equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of the other produces a system with the same solutions.

Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.

Without solving the systems, explain why the following system must have the same solution.
| System 1:                       $${4x-5y=13 }$$                        $${3x+6y=11}$$ | System 2:                       $${8x-10y=26}$$                        $${x-11y=2}$$ |

Problem 2
Solve the system of equations by writing a new system that eliminates one of the variables.
$${3x+2y=4}$$
$${4x+7y=1}$$
