Answer: What is the best way to determine whether a given point is a solution to a system of equations?

If you are asked if a point is a solution to an equation, we replace the variables with the given values and see if the 2 sides of the equation are equal (so is a solution), or not equal (so not a solution). ... So, we test the point in both equations. Where is the solution of a system of equations?

The solution to a system of linear equations is the point which lies on both lines. In other words, the solution is the point where the two lines intersect
