Study Notes
Solving Systems of Linear Equations
- A system of linear equations consists of two or more equations with two or more unknowns.
- To solve a system of linear equations, we need to find the values of the unknowns that satisfy both equations.
Graphical Representation
- The graphical representation of a system of linear equations is a pair of lines that intersect at a single point.
- The point of intersection represents the solution to the system of linear equations.
Elimination Method
- The elimination method is used to solve systems of linear equations by eliminating one of the unknowns.
- To eliminate one unknown, we can multiply one or both of the equations by a constant to make the coefficients of the unknown to be eliminated equal.
- Once the unknown is eliminated, we can solve for the other unknown.
Example 1: Simple System of Linear Equations
- The system of linear equations: 9x - 4y = -78 and 4x + y = -18
- By multiplying the second equation by 4, we get 16x + 4y = -72
- Adding the two equations, we get 25x = -150
- Solving for x, we get x = -6
- Substituting x into one of the original equations, we get y = 6
- The solution to the system of linear equations is x = -6 and y = 6
