    Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables

    Uploaded by

    Anulina17
    This document discusses systems of linear equations. It defines linear equations in one and two variables, and systems of simultaneous linear equations. It describes three possible scenarios for solving a pair of linear equations algebraically: having a unique solution when lines intersect, no solution when lines are parallel, and infinite solutions when lines coincide. Graphical and algebraic methods for solving systems are presented, including substitution, elimination of coefficients, and cross-multiplication.

    General form of linear equation in one variable

    ax + b = 0
    where a0 ; a and b are real numbers
    General form of linear equation in one variable

    ax + by +c = 0
    where a, b0 ; a, b, c are real numbers

    The equations are said to be simultaneous if they have

    same variables.
    A pair of linear equations in two variables is said to
    form a system of simultaneous linear equations.
    General form:
    a1x + b1y + c1 = 0
    a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
    where a1, a2, b1, b2, c1, c2 are real numbers, such that a12
    +b12 0, a22 +b22 0.

    Two linear equations will have one unique solution

    when a1 / a2 b1 /b2 . These equations are said to be


    consistent and their graphs intersect each other at a
    single point.

    Two linear equations have no common solution when a1

    /a2 = b1 /b2 c1 /c2. These equations are said to be


    inconsistent. The graphs are parallel to each other.

    Two linear equations will have infinite number of

    solutions when a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2. These equations are


    said to dependent. The graphs coincide each other.

    A pair of linear equations in two variables can be


    represented, and solved, by the:
    Graphical method
    Algebraic method

    The graph of a pair of linear equations in two variables is


    represented by two lines.
    If the lines intersect at a point, then that point gives the
    unique solution of the two equations. In this case, the pair
    of equations is consistent.
    If the lines coincide, then there are infinitely many
    solutions- each point on the line being a solution. In this
    case, the pair of equations is dependent( consistent).
    If the lines are parallel, then the pair of equations has no
    solution. In this case, the pair of equations is inconsistent.

    To solve a pair of linear equations in two variables


    algebraically, we have following methods:
    Method of elimination by substitution
    Method of elimination by equating the coefficients
    Method of cross-multiplication

    In this method, we eliminate or substitute one of the

    variables; the same method we applied in graphical


    method. Then the value of y (or x) in terms of x ( or y)
    obtained from the 1st equation is put in the 2nd
    equation and subsequently solve it.

    Equating the co-efficient In this method, we equate

    either of the co-efficient of two variables and by the


    subtraction of two equations we cancel the equated
    variable. Then we get the solution of the other variable
    and thereafter using the obtained solution we achieve
    the other variable also.

    In this method we can very easily and directly get the

    solution, by the following step:


    x
    =
    -y
    = ___1____
    b
    c
    a
    c
    a
    b
    b
    c
    a
    c
    a
    b

    There are several situations which can be

    mathematically represented by two equations that are


    not linear to start with. But we alter them so that they
    are reduced to a pair of linear equations.
