AA single quadratic equation alone
BA compound inequality with two parts
CA system of linear equations
DA linear function of one variable
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. A system of linear equations
1. The definition states directly that grouping two or more linear equations together forms a system of linear equations.
2. A quadratic equation, a compound inequality, and a linear function are all different mathematical objects, none of which describes a group of linear equations.
3. Most algebra courses focus on systems of exactly two linear equations in two unknowns, though larger systems are possible too.
