Topics in Simultaneous (Linear) Equations
Introduction and Basic Concepts
- A linear equation in two variables has the form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, c are constants and x, y are variables with degree 1
- Simultaneous equations are two linear equations with the same two variables that must be solved together
- The solution is a pair of values (x, y) that satisfies both equations simultaneously
Method of Elimination by Substitution
- Find the value of one variable in terms of the other from any equation
- Substitute this value in the second equation to get an equation in one variable
- Solve for the remaining variable
Method of Elimination by Equating Coefficients
- Make coefficients of one variable equal in both equations by multiplication
- Add or subtract equations to eliminate that variable
- Solve the resulting single-variable equation
Method of Cross-Multiplication
- Express both equations in the form a₁x + b₁y + c₁ = 0 and a₂x + b₂y + c₂ = 0
- Use the cross-multiplication formula directly
- Arrange coefficients in the pattern: b₁, c₁, a₁ in first row and b₂, c₂, a₂ in second row
