Standards covered…

✅ CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.C.8 "Analyze and solve pairs of simultaneous linear equations."

✅ CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.C.8.a "Understand that solutions to a system of two linear equations in two variables correspond to points of intersection of their graphs, because points of intersection satisfy both equations simultaneously."

✅ CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.8.EE.C.8.b "Solve systems of two linear equations in two variables algebraically, and estimate solutions by graphing the equations. Solve simple cases by inspection. For example, 3x + 2y = 5 and 3x + 2y = 6 have no solution because 3x + 2y cannot simultaneously be 5 and 6."
