Overview

Simultaneous (linear) equations are two linear equations with the same two variables, considered together. The main goal is to find the values of the variables that satisfy both equations at the same time. A linear equation in two variables has the form ax+by+c=0, where a, b, and c are constants and

Key Concepts

An equation of the form ax+by+c=0

An equation of the form ax+by+c=0 is a linear equation in two variables. The variables x and y each have degree 1.

Two linear equations that contain

Two linear equations that contain the same two variables are called simultaneous linear equations.

Solving two simultaneous linear equations means

Solving two simultaneous linear equations means finding the values of the variables used in the equations.

One variable is first written

One variable is first written in terms of the other, then substituted into the second equation.

The equations are multiplied by suitable

The equations are multiplied by suitable numbers so that one variable has equal coefficients, then the equations are added or subtracted.
