Solving Simultaneous Equations ① ② We can solve simultaneous equations by adding or subtracting when a term and coefficient is the same in both equations. ①-② ①
Solving Simultaneous Equations But how do we solve simultaneous equations when there is no term and coefficient in common? As in the multiplication worksheet, we can multiply both sides of an equation by a number. We can make it so the same term shares the same coefficient.
Solving Simultaneous Equations Solve the simultaneous equations below. What should we do first? The easiest way to make a pair of coefficients the same is to make ② contain . So we will multiply ② by . Example ① So let’s subtract ① from ②×2. ② ②×2 ②×2 ① Let’s substitute into②. ② So and .
Solving Simultaneous Equations Solve the simultaneous equations below. ① Example ② Let’s multiply ① by 3 and ② by 2. Then we will have in both equations. ① x 3 ② x 2 ①x 3 - ② x 2 So and . Try the worksheets! ①
