Study Notes
Linear Equations
- Linear equations are equations in which the highest power of the variable(s) is 1.
- Example: 2x + 3 = 5 is a linear equation.
Characteristics of Linear Equations in Two Variables
- Linear equations in two variables have the form ax + by = c, where a, b, and c are constants, and x and y are variables.
- The characteristic of linear equations in two variables is that they can be graphed as a straight line.
Simultaneous Linear Equations
- Simultaneous linear equations are two or more linear equations containing two or more variables, and are true at the same time.
- Example: 2x + 3y = 7 and x - 2y = -3 are simultaneous linear equations.
- The purpose of solving simultaneous linear equations is to find the values of the variables that satisfy both equations.
- Simultaneous linear equations can be solved using the method of substitution or elimination.
- The characteristic of simultaneous linear equations is that they have a unique solution, which is the point of intersection of the lines represented by the equations.
