    Algebraic Methods of Solving Simultaneous Linear Equations 2

    This document discusses three algebraic methods for solving simultaneous linear equations: elimination by substitution, elimination by equating coefficients, and cross-multiplication. It provides a detailed example of using the substitution method to solve the equations x + 2y = -1 and 2x - 3y = 12. The key steps are to substitute one variable into one equation to get an equation with just one variable, solve for that variable, then substitute back to find the other variable. The solution is presented as the ordered pair (3, -2).

    ALGEBRAIC METHODS OF SOLVING

    SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR EQUATIONS


    The most commonly used algebraic methods of
    solving simultaneous linear equations in two variables are
    Method of elimination by substitution
    Method of elimination by equating the coefficient
    Method of Cross- multiplication

    ELIMINATION BY SUBSTITUTION
    STEPS
    Obtain the two equations. Let the equations be
    a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 ----------- (i)
    a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 ----------- (ii)
    Choose either of the two equations, say (i) and
    find the value of one variable , say y in terms
    of x
    Substitute the value of y, obtained in the
    previous step in equation (ii) to get an equation
    in x

    ELIMINATION BY SUBSTITUTION
    Solve the equation obtained in the
    previous step to get the value of x.
    Substitute the value of x and get the
    value of y.
    Let us take an example
    x + 2y = -1 ------------------ (i)
    2x 3y = 12 -----------------(ii)

    SUBSTITUTION METHOD
    x + 2y = -1
    x = -2y -1 ------- (iii)
    Substituting the value of x in
    equation (ii), we get
    2x 3y = 12
    2 ( -2y 1) 3y = 12
    - 4y 2 3y = 12
    - 7y = 14 , y = -2 ,

    SUBSTITUTION
    Putting the value of y in eq (iii), we get
    x = - 2y -1
    x = - 2 x (-2) 1
    =41
    =3
    Hence the solution of the equation is
    ( 3, - 2 )
