Solving linear simultaneous equations .

Solving simultaneous equations involves finding the point of intersection


where two lines meet.

Since this point lies on both lines, it satisfies both equations


simultaneously—meaning it is the common solution to the system.

Example :

Solve the system :

𝑦1 = 3𝑥 − 1 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦2 = 2𝑥 + 6

For solving the system geometrically set y1 = y2

∴ 3𝑥 − 1 = 2𝑥 + 6

Solve for the value of x by isolating x (making x set alone at one side)

3𝑥 − 2𝑥 = 6 + 1

𝑥 = 7

After finding the value of x ; substitute the x = 7 into one of the


equations to find the y - coordinate of the intersection point :

y = 3(7) - 1

y = 20

So the point of intersection (7 , 20 )

Practice :

Solve the following systems :

1)​y = -2x + 1 and y = 5x - 15

2)​y = 7x + 2 and y = 5x - 6

3)​y = -6x - 4 and y = 3x + 8

4)​y = 12x - 5 and y = 19x + 9


5)​y = 4x - 9 and y = 9x -1

6)​y = -x - 5 and y = -4x - 10

7)​y = -5x - 8 and y = -2x + 6
