REVIEW OF LINEAR EQUATION
The linear equations in one variable is an
equation which is expressed in the form of ax +
b = 0, where a and b are two integers, and x is a
variable and has only one solution.
For example, 2x+3=8 is a linear equation having a
single variable in it.

MATH UNLOCKED!
Linear equations in two
variables are equations which can be
expressed as Ax + By + C = 0, where A, B and
C areGeneral
real numbers and both a, and b are not
Standard
Form
Ax + By + C = 0 zero.
Form
Ax + By = C
The solution of such equations is a pair of values for x
and y which makes both sides of the equation equal.
The symbols x and y are variables that represents any
number that will satisfy the equation.
Check this out
2x + 3y = 32
In standard form Ax + By = C,
where a = 2 ; b= 3 and c = 32
• The equation 2x +3y = 32 is an example of a linear equation in
two variables. This equation will only be true if we can find an
ordered pair (x,y) that will satisfy the equation.

Finding solutions of
Linear Equations in Two
Variables
How do we find the solution/s of
a linear equation in two
variables?
Example # 1.
Find three solutions of 4x + y = 12.
If x = 0 If x = 1 If x= 3
Example # 1.
Find three solutions of 4x + y = 12.
If x = 0 If x = 1 If x= 3
4x + y =12 4x + y =12 4x + y =12
4(0) +y=12 4(1) +y=12 4(3) +y=12
0+y = 12 4+y = 12 12+y = 12
y = 12 y = 12- 4 y = 12 – 12
y= 8 y= 0
Therefore ( 0, 12) is a Therefore ( 1, 8) is a Therefore ( 3, 0) is a
solution solution solution
x y (x,y)
You can also list the solutions in a 0 12 (0,12)
table of values as shown below. 1 8 (1,8)
3 0 (3,0)
Example # 2. x y (x,y)

Refer to the table on the right. Given the value 8
of x or y, find the three solutions of 3x – y + 2 3
=If0x = 1 If y = 8 If x= 3
Let us check Example # 2. x y (x,y)
1 5 (1,5)
2 8 (2,8)
The three solutions of 3x – y + 2 = 0
3 11 (3,11
)
If x = 1 If y = 8 If x= 3
Summary
How can you identify if the equation is Linear Equation
in 2 variables or not?
-It consists of 2 different variables both raised to the
first power
- No variables appear in the denominator of a fraction
- No two variables are part of the same term
