  4. Programme F5: Linear equations and simultaneous linear equations Linear equations Solution of simple equations A linear equation in a single variable (unknown) involves powers of the variable no higher than the first. A linear equation is also referred to as a simple equation. The solution of simple equations consists essentially of simplifying the expressions on each side of the equation to obtain an equation of the form:

  6. Programme F5: Linear equations and simultaneous linear equations Simultaneous linear equations with two unknowns Solution by substitution Solution by equating coefficients

  7. Programme F5: Linear equations and simultaneous linear equations Simultaneous linear equations with two unknowns Solution by substitution A linear equation in two variables has an infinite number of solutions. For two such equations there may be just one pair of x- and y-values that satisfy both simultaneously. For example:

  8. Programme F5: Linear equations and simultaneous linear equations Simultaneous linear equations with two unknowns Solution by equating coefficients Example: Multiply (a) by 3 (the coefficient of y in (b)) and multiply (b) by 2 (the coefficient of y in (a))

  9. Programme F5: Linear equations and simultaneous linear equations Linear equations Simultaneous linear equations with two unknowns Simultaneous linear equations with three unknowns

  10. Programme F5: Linear equations and simultaneous linear equations Simultaneous linear equations with three unknowns With three unknowns and three equations the method of solution is just an extension of the work with two unknowns. By equating the coefficients of one of the variables it can be eliminated to give two equations in two unknowns. These can be solved in the usual manner and the value of the third variable evaluated by substitution.

  11. Programme F5: Linear equations and simultaneous linear equations Simultaneous linear equations Pre-simplification Sometimes, the given equations need to be simplified before the method of solution can be carried out. For example, to solve: Simplification yields:
