Definition (Systems of Equations in Two Variables)Given the linear system
ax + by = hcx + dy = k
A pair of numbers x = x0, y = y0 [also written as an orderedpair (x0, y0) is said to be a solution of the system if eachequation is satisfied by the pair. The set of all such orderedpairs is called the solution set for the system. To solve asystem is to find its solution set.
We will consider three methods for solving such systems:graphing, substitution, and elimination by addition.

Definition (Systems of Linear Equations: Basic Terms)A system of linear equations is consistent if it has one or moresolutions and inconsistent if no solutions exist. Furthermore, aconsistent system is said to be independent if it has exactlyone solution and dependent if it has more than one solution.Two systems of equations are equivalent if they have the samesolution set.

Graphing and substitution work well for systems involvingtwo variables.
However, neither is easily extended to larger systems.Elimination by addition is the most important method ofsolution.It readily generalizes to larger systems and forms the basisfor computer-based solution methods.

Example: At $4.80 per bushel, the annual supply for soybeansin the Midwest is 1.9 billion bushels and the annual demand is2.0 billion bushels. When the price increases to $5.10 perbushel, the annual supply increases to 2.1 billion bushels andthe annual demand decreases to 1.8 billion bushels.

(b) Find the demand equation.
Again, we want an equation of the form p = mq + b. We havetwo points on the graph of the demand equation: (2.0, 4.80)and (1.8, 5.10).
The slope of this line is:
m =5.10− 4.80
1.8− 2.0= −0.3
0.2= −3
2Therefore the equation of this line is
p − 4.80 = −32(q − 2.0)
p = −32
q +32(2.0) + 4.80
p = −32
q + 7.80

(c) Find the equilibrium price and quantity.
We set supply equal to demand and solve:
− 32
q + 7.80 =32
q + 1.95
3q = 5.85q = 1.95 billion bushels
Substituting, we find p = −32(1.95) + 7.80 = $4.88
