    Simulated Lesson
    for
    Mathematics
    Subject: Mathematics
    TOPIC: LINEAR EQUATION IN TWO VARIABLES

    PREPARED BY :
    NEHA AGARWAL
    The general form of a linear equation
    in two variables x and y is

    ax + by + c = 0 , where
    a != 0,
    b != 0

    and a, b ,c being real numbers.


    ax + by + c = 0

    A solution of such an equation is a


    pair of values, one for x and the other
    for y, which makes two sides of the
    equation equal .
    A pair of linear equations in two
    variables -

    Example :-
    2x – 3y + 4 = 0
    x + 7y – 1 = 0
    Here variables are x and y.
     Letus consider the following system of two
    simultaneous linear equations in two
    variable.

    • 2x – y = -1
    • 3x + 2y = 9

    Here we assign any value to one of the two


    variables and then determine the value of
    the other variable from the given
    equation.
    METHODS OF SOLVING LINEAR
    EQUATIONS
    The most commonly used algebraic methods of
    Solving linear equations in two variables are :-

    Method of Substitution
    Method of SUBSTITUTION

    Method of solving linear equations by


    Substitution method

    Obtain the two equations. Let the equations be


    a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 ----------- (i)
    a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 ----------- (ii)
    Method of SUBSTITUTION

     Choose either of the two equations, say (i) and


    find the value of one variable ,say ‘y’ in terms of x
    in equation (ii).

     Substitute the value of y, obtained in the previous


    step in equation (ii) to get an equation in x.

     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.
    Example

    [Solving the Linear equations by SUBSTITUTION Method]


    METHOD of SUBSTITUTION

    Let us take an example


    x + 2y = -1 ----------------- (i)
    2x – 3y = 12 -----------------(ii)
    Step 1:
    Choose either of the two equations, say (i) and find the value of
    one variable ,say ‘x’ in terms of y :-

    x + 2y = -1
    x = -2y -1 ------- (iii)
    METHOD of SUBSTITUTION
    Step 2:
    Substitute the value of x, obtained in the previous step (equation iii)
    in equation (ii) to get an equation in y:

    Step 3:
    Solve the equation obtained in the previous step to get the value of
    y.
    Substitute the value of y and get the value of x.
    Substituting the value of “x” from equation (iii) to equation (ii)
    And we get the below
    2x – 3y = 12 -----------------(ii)
    METHOD of SUBSTITUTION
    Substituting the value of x from equation (iii),
    2 ( -2y – 1) – 3y = 12
    - 4y – 2 – 3y = 12
    - 7y = 14 ,
    y = -2 ,

    Putting the value of y in eq (iii), we get


    x = - 2y -1
    x = - 2 x (-2) – 1
    x=4–1
    x=3
    Hence the solution of the equation is
    ( 3, - 2 )
    METHOD of SUBSTITUTION

    Let us take another example


    x + 4y = -2 ----------------- (i)
    2x – 3y = 12 -----------------(ii)

    Step 1:
    Choose either of the two equations, say (i) and find the
    value of one variable ,say ‘x’ in terms of y :-
    x + 4y = -2
    x = -4y -2 ------- (iii)
    METHOD of SUBSTITUTION
    Step 2:
    Substitute the value of x, obtained in the previous step (equation iii)
    in equation (ii) to get an equation in y:

    Step 3:
    Solve the equation obtained in the previous step to get the value of
    y.
    Substitute the value of y and get the value of x.
    Substituting the value of “x” from equation (iii) to equation (ii)
    And we get the below
    2x – 3y = 12 -----------------(ii)
    METHOD of SUBSTITUTION
    Substituting the value of x from equation (iii),
    2 ( -4y – 2) – 3y = 12
    - 8y – 4 – 3y = 12
    - 11y = 16 ,
    y = -16/11 ,

    Putting the value of y in eq (iii), we get


    x = - 2y -1
    x = - 2 x (-16/11) – 1
    x = 32/11 – 1
    x = 21/11
    Hence the solution of the equation is
    ( 21/11, -16/11 )
