Algebra 57 - Dependent Equations and Systems @MyWhyU

Uploaded October 2016 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

Some systems of linear equations contain one or more equations which don't add any new information to the system and are therefore redundant. These equations are said to be 'dependent'. In a system of two equations, it is easy to spot when the equations are dependent since the equations will be either identical or multiples of each other. In this case, the system will always have infinitely many solutions. However, in systems of more than two equations, dependent equations are not necessarily multiples of each other and the system may or may not have infinitely many solutions.

$Pre-Algebra 20 - Converting Repeating Decimal Numbers to Fractions Decimal numbers with an infinitely repeating sequence of digits after the decimal point can be converted into fractions. This chapter explains why.$

Algebra 74 - Factoring Quadratics by Inspection - part 2

$Pre-Algebra 12 - Arithmetic Operations with Fractions Arithmetic operations with fractions can be visualized using the number line. This chapter starts by adding fractions with the same denominators and explains the logic behind multiplication of fractions.$

$Pre-Algebra 29 - Roots and Unit Fraction Exponents Exponents can not only be integers. They can also be fractions. Using the rules of exponents, we can see why a number raised to the power one over n is equivalent to the nth root of that number.$
