Simultaneous Equations
Simultaneous equations and linear equations,
after studying this section, you will be able to:
solve simultaneous linear equations by substitution
solve simultaneous linear equations by elimination
solve simultaneous linear equations using straight line graphs
If an equation has two unknowns, such as 2y + x = 20, it cannot have unique solutions
...


NOTE:
It is a good idea to label each equation
...

This value of x can be substituted into equation [1] or [2], or into the expression for y: y = 2x −
1
...


The 2nD Method is called solution by elimination
NOTE:The method is not quite as hard as it first seems, but it helps if you know why it works
...

Adding two equations produces another valid equation:

e
...
2x = x + 10 (x = 10) and x − 3 = 7 (x also = 10)
...

The object is to manipulate the two equations so that, when combined, either the x term or
the y term is eliminated (hence the name) − the resulting equation with just one unknown can
then be solved
