Solving Systems of Linear Equations

This document contains 28 problems involving solving systems of linear equations. Each problem presents a system of 2 equations with 2 or more unknowns and potential constants. For each system, students are asked to determine properties of the solution(s) like the number of solutions, value of a solution, or value of an expression involving the solutions. The questions cover topics like determining the value of a constant for which a unique solution exists, the number of solutions for given values, and the sum or product of variables in a solution.
