Definition of Linear Equation


Algebraic equation in which each term is either a
constant or the product of a constant and (the first
power of) a single variable (however, different
variables may occur in different terms).

 ax + b = 0 ax + by = k ax + by + cz + d = 0
a and b are constants ax + by – k = 0 a , b, c and d are constants
a ≠ 0 a ≠ 0, c ≠ 0 and c ≠ 0
x is a variable a, b and k are constants x, y and z a variable
a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0
x and y a variable
System of Linear Equations

Definition of System of Linear Equations


A set or collection of equations ( 2 or more linear
equations) because they involve solving more
than one linear equation at once.

A system of linear equations can have either :


• Exactly ONE solution (unique),
• NO solution, or
• INFINITELY many solutions.

Method 1 : Solving with Graphing

Problem of Solving with Graphing Method

Lines cross at a shallow angle (–4.3, –0.95)?


Method 2 : Solving by Substitution

• Solve one of the equations for one of the variables, and plug
this into the other equation
Example 1 : Solve the following system by substitution.
2x – 3y = –2
4x +   y = 24
Step 1 : Solve the simplest equation.
4x + y = 24
4x +   y = 24 => y = –4x + 24
Step 2 : Plug this in ("substitute it") for "y" in the first equation, and solve for x and y
2x – 3y = –2
2x – 3(–4x + 24) = –2 y = –4x + 24 4x + (–4x + 24) = 24
2x + 12x – 72 = –2 y = –4(5) + 24 4x – 4x + 24 = 24
14x = 70 y  = –20 + 24 24 = 24 (recheck
x = 5  y  = 4 solutions)
Then the solution is (x, y) = (5, 4).
Method 2 : Solving by Substitution

Example 2 : Solve the following system by substitution.


7x + 2y = 16
–21x – 6y = 24
Step 1 : Solve the simplest equation.
7x + 2y = 16
2y = –7x + 16 => y = –( 7/2 )x + 8

Step 2 : Plug this in ("substitute it") for "y" in the first equation, and solve for x and y
–21x – 6y = 24
–21x – 6(–( 7/2 )x + 8) = 24
–21x + 21x – 48 = 24
–48 = 24 solution: no solution (inconsistent system)

Method 3 : Solving by Elimination

• Solving systems of linear equations uses the addition


property of equality.
Example 1 : Solve the following system by using elimination
method.
2x + y = 9
3x – y = 16
Step 1 : Pick & eliminate the easiest eliminated variable .
2x + y = 9
3x – y = 16

Step 2 : How to eliminate selected variable ? 2x + y = 9


2x + y = 9 2(5) + y = 9
+ 3x – y = 16 => use addition   10 + y = 9
5x = 25           y = –1
x =5
Then the solution is (x, y) = (5, –1).
Method 3 : Solving by Elimination

Example 2 : Solve the following system by using Elimination Method


x – 2y = –9
x + 3y = 16
Step 1 : Pick & eliminate the easiest eliminated variable .
x – 2y = –9
x + 3y = 16

Step 2 : How to eliminate selected variable ?


x – 2y = –9
=> use subtraction x – 2y = –9
– x + 3y = 16
x – 2(5) = –9
- 5y = - 25
x – 10 = –9
y=5
x = 1

Then the solution is (x, y) = (1, 5).


Method 3 : Solving by Elimination

Example 3 : Solve the following system by using Elimination Method.


2x –   y =     9
3x + 4y = –14
Step 1 : Pick & eliminate the easiest eliminated variable
R1 2x –   y =     9 4R1 8x  –  4y =  36
R2 3x + 4y = –14 3x  + 4y = –14

Step 2 : How to eliminate selected variable ?


8x  –  4y =  36 2x  –  y =     9
=> use addition
+ 3x  + 4y = –14 2(2) – y = 9
11x = 22 4 – y = 9
x = 2 –y = 5
y = –5 The solution is (x, y) = (2, –5).
Practice 1

Practice 1 :
Use elimination to solve each system of equations, if possible. Identify
the system as consistent or inconsistent. If the system is consistent, state
whether the equations are dependent or independent. Support
your results graphically.

a) 3x - y = 7 b) 5x - y = 8 c) x - y = 5
5x + y = 9 -5x + y = -8 x-y=-2
Practice 1

a) 3x - y = 7
5x + y = 9

3x – y = 7 3x – y = 7
+ 5x + y = 9 => use addition 3(2) – y = 7
8x = 16 6–y=7
x =2 y=–1
Practice 1

b) 5x- y = 8
-5x + y = -8

5x – y = 8
+ -5x + y = -8 => use addition
0x = 0
0 =0
Practice 1

b) x – y = 5
x – y = -2

x–y=5
– x – y = -2 => use subtraction
0 =7
