Solving Systems Of Equations Visually
This animation shows how two linear equations relate as lines on a coordinate plane, with their intersection representing the solution that satisfies both. It walks through substitution and elimination methods step by step, showing how algebraic manipulation matches the geometric picture of two lines meeting at one point. Useful for students learning algebra who need to connect symbolic steps with graphical meaning, and for teachers introducing systems of equations before matrices.
