Solving Equations Algebraically

Course 1

Solving Systems by Substitution

5 lessons

25 practices

You already know what a system's solution means. Now turn that idea into a dependable skill: solving two-variable systems by substitution. You'll move from ready-made setups to rearranging equations and handling fractions, and learn to choose the cleanest path to each answer.

Course 2

Solving Systems by Elimination

5 lessons

25 practices

Substitution isn't your only tool. Here you'll master elimination — adding or subtracting equations to cancel a variable. You'll scale equations to line up coefficients, control the sign changes subtraction demands, and even clear fractions before solving.

Course 3

Modeling and Solving Everyday Systems

5 lessons

25 practices

Time to put systems to work. You'll pick the method that fits a system's structure, translate everyday situations like pricing plans and shared receipts into equations, then solve and interpret the answers in the situation's own terms.

Course 4

One, None, or Infinitely Many Solutions

5 lessons

25 practices

Not every system has one tidy answer. Here you'll read the algebra when variables vanish, telling apart one solution, none, and infinitely many. You'll link each result to how two lines sit, predict outcomes before solving, and interpret them in everyday situations.

Course 5

Three-Variable Systems and a First Look Beyond

7 lessons

36 practices

Two variables were just the start. You'll extend elimination to three-variable systems and solve for ordered triples, then take a first look at four or more variables and see why solving large systems by hand quickly becomes impractical.

I'm really impressed by the AI tutor Cosmo's feedback about my code. It's honestly kind of insane to me that it's so targeted and specific.

I tried Leetcode but it was too disorganized. CodeSignal covers all the topics I'm interested in and is way more structured.
