    Revision Notes on Pair of Linear

    Equations in two variables


    Linear Equations
    A Linear Equation is an equation of straight line. It is in the form of

    ax + by + c = 0

    where a, b and c are the real numbers (a≠0 and b≠0) and x and y are
    the two variables,

    Here a and b are the coefficients and c is the constant of the


    equation.

    Pair of Linear Equations


    Two Linear Equations having two same variables are known as the
    pair of Linear Equations in two variables.

    a1x + b1y + c1 = 0

    a2x + b2y + c2 = 0

    Graphical method of solution of a pair of


    Linear Equations
    As we are showing two equations, there will be two lines on the
    graph.

    1. If the two lines intersect each other at one particular point then
    that point will be the only solution of that pair of Linear Equations. It
    is said to be a consistent pair of equations.
    :
    2. If the two lines coincide with each other, then there will be infinite
    solutions as all the points on the line will be the solution for the pair
    of Linear Equations. It is said to be dependent or consistent pair of
    equations.

    3. If the two lines are parallel then there will be no solution as the
    lines are not intersecting at any point. It is said to be an inconsistent
    pair of equations.

    Algebraic Methods of Solving a Pair of Linear
    Equations
    1. Substitution method

    If we have a pair of Linear Equations with two variables x and y, then


    we have to follow these steps to solve them with the substitution
    method-

    Step 1: We have to choose any one equation and find the value of
    one variable in terms of other variable i.e. y in terms of x.

    Step 2: Then substitute the calculated value of y in terms of x in the


    other equation.

    Step 3: Now solve this Linear Equation in terms of x as it is in one


    variable only i.e. x.

    Step 4: Substitute the calculate value of x in the given equations and


    find the value of y.

    2. Elimination method

    In this method, we solve the equations by eliminating any one of the


    variables.
    :
    Step 1: Multiply both the equations by such a number so that the
    coefficient of any one variable becomes equal.

    Step 2: Now add or subtract the equations so that the one variable
    will get eliminated as the coefficients of one variable are same.

    Step 3: Solve the equation in that leftover variable to find its value.

    Step 4: Substitute the calculated value of variable in the given


    equations to find the value of the other variable.

    3. Cross multiplication method

    Given two equations in the form of

    a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 and a2x + b2y + c2 = 0, where

    We write it in general form as

    To apply cross multiplication we use this diagram


    :
    The arrows indicate the pairs to be multiplied. The product of the
    upward arrow pairs is to be subtracted from the product of the
    downward arrow pairs.

    By using this diagram we have to write the equations as given in


    general form then find the value of x and y by putting the values in
    the above notations.

    y Interpretation of the pair of equations

    Equations Reducible to a Pair of Linear Equations in Two


    Variables

    There are some pair of equations which are not linear but can be
    :
    reduced to the linear form by substitutions.

    Given equations

    We can convert these type of equations in the form of ax + by + c = 0

    Let

    and

    Now after substitution the equation will be

    am + bn = c

    It can be easily solved by any of the method of solving Linear


    Equations.
