Description	Journal: Journal of Physics: Conference Series Mathematics is a logical means of thinking. Reasoning is one part of thinking that we must understanding about mathematics learning. But in fact, there still were students made errors. The aim of study is to describe the causes of students making errors in working on the matter of System of Linear Equation in Two Variables. The research was a qualitative descriptive study. Subjects in this study were four eighth grade students. Data collection was done by tests, interviews and documentation. The types of errors used in this study were the types of errors according to Newman, namely: (1) reading errors, (2) comprehension errors, (3) transformation errors, (4) process skills errors, and (5) errors in writing answers (encoding errors). The results of data analysis showed that students made errors in solving the problem form of System of Linear Equation in Two Variables. Moreover, the errors made by the students lied in the concept, interpretation of language, procedures, and calculations. While the cause factor the students were less thorough, did not understand the meaning of the problem, less know the concept of the formula, and students who did not check again the answers that have been made. In addition, we found that students were still having difficulties when understanding the meaning of the problem and wrong in process to answer the problem.
