Standards (state and national)
exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs), focusing on pairs of linear
equations in two variables.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.D.11 - Explain why the x-coordinates of
the points where the graphs of the equations y = f(x) and y = g(x) intersect
are the solutions of the equation f(x) = g(x); find the solutions
approximately, e.g., using technology to graph the functions, make tables
of values, or find successive approximations. Include cases where f(x)
and/or g(x) are linear, polynomial, rational, absolute value, exponential,
and logarithmic functions.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.C.5 - 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.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.CED.A.2 - Create equations in two or more
variables to represent relationships between quantities; graph equations on
coordinate axes with labels and scales.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.CED.A.3 - Represent constraints by equations
or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or inequalities, and
interpret solutions as viable or nonviable options in a modeling context.
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.HSA.REI.D.12 - Graph the solutions to a linear
inequality in two variables as a half-plane (excluding the boundary in the
case of a strict inequality), and graph the solution set to a system of linear
inequalities in two variables as the intersection of the corresponding half-
planes.
NCTM
Represent and analyze mathematical situations and structures using algebraic
symbols
Understand the meaning of equivalent forms of expressions, equations,
inequalities, and relations.
Write equivalent forms of equations, inequalities, and systems of equations
and solve them with fluency—mentally or with paper and pencil in simple
cases and using technology in all cases.
