Solving Word Problems with Linear Systems
Applications of Linear Systems
It's in the application to real-world situations that we see the value of writing and solving systems of equations. We can even save money by comparing different companies or pricing plans. Read this article and watch the video. The article describes examples where systems of equations can be used to solve real-world quantities. After you review, complete problems 1 to 4 and check your answers.
In this section, we'll see how consistent, inconsistent, and dependent systems might arise in applications.
