When we talk about the of the system of equations, we mean the of the variables that make both equations at the time.
There may be pairs of and that make the equation , and pairs of and that make the equation , but we are looking for an and that would work in equations.
A system of two linear equations in two unknowns might look like:
see their graph:
If equations are linear, their graphs will be straight lines that intersect at particular the system a solution. Clearly this point is on lines, and therefore its coordinates (, ) will satisfy the equation of either line. Thus the pair (, ) is the and solution to the system of equations.
Sometimes two equations might look different but actually describe the same line. For example, in
The second equation is just two times the first equation, so they are actually and would both be equations of the line. Because the two equations describe the same line, they have all their points in common; hence there are an number of solutions to the system.
see their graph:
If two lines happen to have the slope, but are identically the line, then they will intersect. There is pair (, ) that could equations, because there is no point (, ) that is simultaneously on both lines. Thus these equations are said to be , and there is solution. The fact that they both have the may not be obvious from the equations, because they are not written in one of the standard forms for straight lines. The slope is not readily evident in the form we use for writing systems of equations. (If you think about it you will see that the is the negative of the coefficient of divided by the coefficient of ).
