What to Focus On
- Standard form: ax + by + c = 0, where a and b are not both zero
- All variables must have power exactly equal to 1
- No terms like x², y², or xy are allowed
- A solution is an ORDERED PAIR (x, y) that satisfies the equation
- Order matters: (3, 2) means x = 3 AND y = 2 specifically
- Verification: Substitute both values and check if LHS = RHS
- Always clearly define what x and y represent before writing the equation
- The equation must correctly capture the relationship described in the problem
- One equation in two variables has infinitely many solutions — all are valid
Common Mistakes to Avoid
A linear equation in two variables has only one solution, just like a linear equation in one variable.
The equation ax + by + c = 0 is NOT a linear equation in two variables if c ≠ 0 (i.e., there must be no constant term).
The solution (x, y) of an equation can be written in any order — (y, x) is the same as (x, y).
