How to Solve Simultaneous Linear Equations:
Up to now we have solved equations with only one unknown variable. When solving for two unknown variables, two equations are required and these equations are known as simultaneous equations. The solutions are the values of the unknown variables which satisfy both equations simultaneously. In general, if there are n unknown variables, then n independent equations are required to obtain a value for each of the n variables.
Solving Linear Equations in Two Variables by Two Methods
(1) Substitution Method
(2) Addition or Subtraction Method
(1) Substitution Method :
11x-8y = 27 ………. (i)
3x+5y = -7 ……….. (ii)
11x = 27+8y or x = (8y+27)/11 ………. (iii)
Put this value of x in eqn (ii)
3[(8y+27)/11] + 5y = -7
24y + 81 + 55y = -77
79y = -77-81
y = -158/79 = -2
Substitute the value in eqn (iii)
x = {8×(-2)+27}/11
= (-16+27)/11 = 11/11 = 1
x = 1 and y = -2
(2) Method of Elimination by Addition or Subtraction
3x – 2y = 19 ………. (i)
4x + y = 18 ……….. (ii)
On Adding both eqn we get,
11x = 55
x = 55/11 = 5
Put the value in eq(i) we get,
3(5) – 2y = 19
15 – 2y = 19
15 – 19 = 2y
2y = -4
y = -2
x = 5 and y = -2.
