Concept question: Is it the same when you say "Solve the following equations:" with "Solve the following systems of equations"?

Question

I am creating a worksheet and I want to include solving for solutions.

My initial instruction was

"Solve the following equations:"

1. $a^3 = 3$
2. $2x+y=4$,
   $4x^2+y^2=1$

Should I need to divide the worksheet into two or it's okay to use the same instruction for both of the given?

Answer 1

Divide in two. You can solve an equation without it's sister; you'll just get infinite solutions.
