Create an understanding of solving problems that require more than one equation. The lesson plan introduces the concept of systems of linear equations by using a familiar situation of constant rate problems. Pupils compare the graphs of equations that represent translations, changes in the rate, and both changes. The lesson plan is the 25th portion of a 33-part unit.
