A system of equations requires one choice of unknowns to satisfy several equations at once. Its solution set is the intersection of the solution sets of the individual equations. For example, $x^2+y^2=1$ and $y=(x-1{)}^2$ ask for intersections of a unit circle and a parabola. A linear system is the special case in which every equation is linear in the unknowns.
