Topics in Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables

1

1. Basic Ideas and Definitions

  • A linear equation in two variables has the form ax + by + c = 0, where a² + b² ≠ 0.
  • At least one of a or b must be non-zero, otherwise the equation is not linear in two variables.
  • One equation with two unknowns has many solutions, so two independent equations are needed for a unique solution.

2. Formation of Equations from Word Problems

  • Unknown quantities are first identified from the situation, then converted into linear equations.
  • The notebook and pen problem gives the equations 3x + 2y = 80 and 4x + 3y = 110.
  • The cost of a notebook and a pen is found by solving both equations together.

3. Graphical Method and Nature of Solutions

  • The graph of each linear equation is a straight line.
  • If two lines intersect, there is one unique solution.
  • If two lines are parallel, there is no solution.

4. Algebraic Methods: Substitution and Elimination

  • Substitution works well when one variable is easy to express in terms of the other.
  • Elimination works by making one variable’s coefficients equal and then adding or subtracting the equations.
  • Cross-multiplication is another standard method used in many classes, though the main methods here are substitution and elimination.
