Systems of Linear Equations in Two Variables

We can do anything we want to do if we stick to it long enough.
—HELEN KELLER

mericans have been moving toward a more mobile lifestyle. In recent years, the percentage of U.S. households relying solely on mobile phone service has increased, while the percentage of households relying solely on landline phone service has decreased. The following figure shows that linear equations can be used to model the percentage P of households relying on each type of phone service during year x. What does the point of intersection represent?

This graph illustrates a system of linear equations. If we use the graph to estimate both the year and the percentage at the intersection point, we are solving the system of linear equations graphically. In this chapter we discuss graphical, numerical, and symbolic methods for solving systems of linear equations.
