Do all rational equations have one solution?
No. They can just as well have zero solutions, several solutions, or even infinitely many solutions.
Does every pair of linear simultaneous equations have a unique solution?
So, take the case of two parallel lines, there is no solution at all. Now look at two equations that represent the same line, they have an infinite number of solutions. The solution is unique if and only if there is a single point of intersection. That point is the solution.
What is the concept of graphing system of equations?
You take each equation individually and then, on a graph, show all the points whose coordinates satisfy the equation. The solution to the system of equations (if one exists) consists of the intersection of all the sets of points for each single equation.
What are the three types of outcomes for linear equations?
All the lines meet at one point: a single solution. All the lines are the same: infinitely many solutions. At least one of the lines does not pass through the point of intersection of the others: no solution.
How do you check a solution to a system of equations?
Put the values that you find (as the solution) back into one (or more) of the original equations and evaluate them. If they remain true then the solution checks out. If one equation does not contain all the variables involved in the system, you may have to repeat with another of the original equations.
