Presentation Linear Equation in Two Variables 1516100969 314387

This document discusses methods for solving systems of linear equations in two variables. It begins by defining a system of linear equations as a pair of linear equations involving two variables. It provides examples of systems of linear equations and discusses their general form. The document then explains how to graphically and algebraically solve systems of linear equations using substitution, elimination of a variable by equating coefficients, and cross multiplication methods.

LINEAR EQUATION

IN TWO VARIABLES
System of equations or
Simultaneous equations
A pair of linear equations in two variables
is said to form a system of simultaneous
(together) linear equations.

For Example, 2x – 3y + 4 = 0
x + 7y – 1 = 0
Form a system of two linear equations in
variables x and y.
The general form of a linear equation in two
variables x and y is
ax + by + c = 0 , a = or not = 0, b= or not= 0,
where
a, b and c being real numbers.
A solution of such an equation is a pair of values,
one for x and the other for y, which makes two
sides (LHS AND RHS) of the equation equal.
Every linear equation in two variables has
infinitely many solutions which can be
represented on a certain line.
GRAPHICAL SOLUTIONS OF A LINEAR
EQUATION
•Let us 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.
For the equation

2x –y = -1 ---(1)
Solve for y
ADD 1 and add y to both sides X 0 2
2x +1 = y
Switching sides Y 1 5
Y = 2x + 1

3x + 2y = 9 --- (2)
Solve for y
Subtract 3x on both sides
2y = 9 – 3x
Divide by 2 on both sides

y=(9-3x)/(2) X 3 -1
Y 0 6
Y

(-1,6)
(2,5)

(0,1)
X’ X
(0,3)
X= 1
Y’ Y=3
ALGEBRAIC METHODS OF SOLVING
SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR EQUATIONS

1. SUBSTITUTION METHOD
2. EQUATING OF COEFFICIENTS
3. CROSS MULTIPLICATION
SUBSTITUTION
Let the equations be
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 ----------- (i)
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 ----------- (ii)
STEPS
1. Choose either of the two equations, say (i) and find the value of one
variable , say ‘y’ in terms of x
2. Substitute the value of y, obtained in the previous step in equation (ii)
to get an equation in x
3. Solve the equation obtained in the previous step to get the value of x.
4. Substitute the value of x and get the value of y.
ELIMINATION BY SUBSTITUTION

Let us take an example


x + 2y = -1 (i)
2x – 3y = 12 (ii)
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
Subtract 2y on both sides
x = -2y -1 ------- (iii)
2. Substituting the value of x in equation
2x – 3y = 12 (ii), we get
2 ( -2y – 1) – 3y = 12 (solving brackets)
- 4y – 2 – 3y = 12 (rearranging)
- 7y = 14 (divide by -7)
y = -2
Putting the value of y in eq (iii), we get
x = - 2y -1
x = - 2 x (-2) – 1
=4–1
=3
Hence the solution of the equation is
(x,y) =( 3, - 2 )
ELIMINATION METHOD

•We eliminate one of the two variables to


obtain an equation in one variable which can
easily be solved. Putting the value of this
variable in any of the given equations, the
value of the other variable can be obtained.
•For example: we want to solve,
3x + 2y = 11
2x + 3y = 4
STEP 1
Let 3x + 2y = 11 --------- (i) x 3
2x + 3y = 4 ---------(ii) x 2
1. Multiply 3 in equation (i)
2. Multiply 2 in equation (ii)
3. Subtracting eq iv from iii, we get
9x + 6y = 33 ------ (iii)
4x + 6y = 8 ------- (iv)
5x + 0 = 25
x=5
Putting the value of y in equation (ii) we get,

2x + 3y = 4 ( put X=5)
2 x 5 + 3y = 4
10 + 3y = 4 ( subtract by 10 both sides)
3y = 4 – 10 (simplify)
3y = - 6 ( divide by 3)
y=-2
Hence, x = 5 and y = -2
(x,y) = (5, -2)
