1. Answer: A system of linear equations consists of two or more linear equations made up of two or more variables, such that all equations in the system are considered simultaneously.
   

   To find the unique solution to a system of linear equations, we must find a numerical value for each variable in the system that will satisfy all equations in the system at the same time.
   

   In order for a linear system to have a unique solution, there must be at least as many equations as there are variables.
   

   The solution to a system of linear equations in two variables is any ordered pair

   that satisfies each equation independently. Graphically, solutions are points at which the lines intersect.

   B, C, and D.

   Explanation:
   When two lines intersect, the intersection point is the answer.
   The graph is used to find what you’re supposed to write as a solution. It measures points where there are whole numbers.
   Parallel lines never have a solution because the never intersect.
