What to Focus On

  • A linear equation in two variables has degree 1 in both variables.
  • Simultaneous equations contain the same two variables.
  • A solution must satisfy both equations at the same time.

  • Substitution isolates one variable first.
  • Equating coefficients makes one variable cancel after addition or subtraction.
  • Cross-multiplication uses a fixed formula.

  • First rewrite one equation to make one variable the subject.
  • Substitute that expression into the other equation.
  • After finding one variable, use it to find the second.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Any pair of equations with x and y is automatically a pair of simultaneous linear equations.

The solution of two simultaneous equations is just one number, not values of both variables.

In substitution, it does not matter which variable is first made the subject.
