Topics in Simultaneous (Linear) Equations

1

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
2

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
3

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
4

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
