In this systems of linear equations exploration for a Functions & Modeling course, students work with tables, graphs, and algebra to investigate the definition of a solution to a linear equation and apply that definition to a solution of a system of linear equations. In part one, students explore the definition through making tables of values in a scenario involving money. In part two, students transition to equations and graphs to see the visual representation of a solution and how it applies to a patio scenario. In part three, students find a solution using algebra and check the answer with graphing in a brunch item scenario.
