The term
simultaneous equations refer to a pair of equations that are solved jointly at
the same time. In simultaneous equations, the number of unknown present in the
equations usually determine the number of equations to be given. This is
because the number of unknown has a direct bearing with the number of equations
to the solved.
A pair of
simultaneous equations is in the form given below
2x – 2y = 14
and
2x + y = 8.
There are three
methods used in solving simultaneous equations. These are
1. Elimination
method;
2. Substitution
method, and
3. Graphical
method.
Note
Only the first two
are treated in this blog.
