Algebra - Simultaneous linear equations
Please select a resource from the list below.
Quick Reference
-
On occasions you will come across two or more unknown quantities, and two or more equations relating to them. These are called simultaneous equations and when asked to solve them yo umust find values of the unknowns which satisfy all the given equations at the same time. On this leaflet we will illustrate one way in which this can be done.
-
This leaflet explains how two equations in two unknowns can be solved by elimination.

IPOD VIDEO: The purpose of this section is to look at the solution of simultaneous linear equations. We will see that solving a pair of simultaneous equations is equivalent to finding the location of the point of intersection of two straight lines.

These videos require Windows Media Player (v10).
Please note: You may experience trouble with more recent upgrades to Internet Explorer (now v.7) and Media Player (now v.11). These no longer support streaming from the mms servers used by mathcentre, so we are recommending that you uninstall IE7 (IE6 lies underneath) and replace the new version of WMP with the fully functioning v.10 (you may need to find a download via google after uninstalling v.11). All those that have done this have reported back that everything is working again.
