    This document provides an example of solving two simultaneous equations using two different methods: the substitution method and the elimination method. Using the substitution method, one equation is solved for one variable in terms of the other variable. This expression is then substituted into the second equation to solve for both variables. Using the elimination method, the equations are combined by multiplying one equation by a constant and adding or subtracting the equations to eliminate one variable. This results in a single equation that can be solved for the remaining variable, which is then substituted back into one of the original equations. Both methods yield the same solution of x = 1/2 and y = 1 for the given simultaneous equations of 2x + 3y =

    Simutaneous equation

    January 13, 2013


    Example:
    2x + 3y = 6
    4x + 9y = 15
    Subtitution method
    2x + 3y = 6 (1)
    4x + 9y = 15 (2)
    From (1)
    2x + 3y = 6
    2x + 3y 3y = 6 3y
    2x = 6 3y
    2x
    = 63y
    2
    2
    x=

    63y
    2

    (3)

    Subtitude (3) to (2), then


    4( 63y
    ) + 9y = 15
    2
    2(6 3y) + 9y = 15
    (2 6) + [2 (3y)] + 9y = 15
    12 + (6y) + 9y = 15
    12 6y + 9y = 15
    12 + 3y = 15
    1

    12 12 + 3y = 15 12
    3y = 15 12
    3y = 3
    3y
    = 33
    3
    y = 1 (4)
    Subtitude (4) to (1)
    2x + 3(1) = 6
    2x + 3 = 6
    2x + 3 3 = 6 3
    2x = 6 3
    2x = 3
    2x
    = 32
    2
    x = 23
    Answer: x = 32 , y = 1

    Elimination Method
    2x + 3y = 6 (1)
    4x + 9y = 15 (2)
    (1) 2, then we have
    4x + 6y = 12 (3)
    (2)-(3), we have
    (4x + 9y) (4x + 6y) = 15 12
    4x + 9y 4x 6y = 15 12
    4x 4x + 9y 6y = 15 12
    0 + 9y 6y = 3
    3y = 3
    3y
    = 33
    3
    y = 1 (4)

    Subtitude (4) to (1), then


    2x + 3(1) = 6
    2x + 3 = 6
    2x + 3 3 = 6 3
    2x = 6 3
    2x = 3
    2x
    = 32
    2
    x = 23
    Answer: x = 32 , y = 1
