Topics in Linear Equations in Two Variables

1

Introduction to Linear Equations in Two Variables

  • A linear equation in two variables has the general form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, c are real numbers and a, b are not both zero
  • The degree of both variables in a linear equation is 1
  • A single linear equation in two variables has infinite solutions
2

Simultaneous Equations

  • When two linear equations in two variables are considered together, they are called simultaneous equations
  • Simultaneous equations may have: (1) Unique solution, (2) No solution, or (3) Infinite solutions
  • The common solution satisfies both equations simultaneously
3

Elimination Method

  • Eliminate one variable by making coefficients equal and adding or subtracting equations
  • Multiply equations by suitable numbers to make coefficients of one variable equal
  • After eliminating one variable, solve for the remaining variable
4

Substitution Method

  • Express one variable in terms of the other from one equation
  • Substitute this expression into the second equation
  • Solve the resulting equation in one variable
