Question 412185: Could you please help me with a couple of problems? They don't make sense.How would you solve x+y=3?
x=4
And how would you graph it using one solution, no solution, and many solutions.

The second equation gives you half of your answer straight up without having to do anything. Substitute that value for x into the first equation and then solve for y. The x and y values then form an ordered pair (x,y) that represents your solution.
If you end up with a triviality, such as 0 = 0, then you have a consistent and dependent system, i.e. infinite solutions. The graphical equivalent is that the two equations graph to the same line.
If you end up with an absurdity, such as 3 = 0, then you have an inconsistent system, i.e. no solution. The graphical analogue is parallel lines.
If you end up with y = some specific number, then you have a consistent and independent system, i.e. one solution. The graphical analogue is a pair of intersecting lines that intersect at the point represented by the solution set of the system.
