The indicator of student errors is based on the Kastolan stages, namely procedural errors, conceptual errors, and technical errors. The results of this study are students with an impulsive cognitive style tend to have more errors than students with a reflective cognitive style. Internal factors that cause errors are because students are less thorough, lack of practice questions, do not understand the prerequisite material, do not understand the concept of solving linear inequality problems of two variables, and do not understand the basic concepts of elimination and substitution methods, while the external factor is the lack of time given to students. so that students have not finished working on the questions]]>
