Simultaneous equeation

Lets say I have these equations: when: x=2

Y=2x-1 and y+2x=5 Here I the variable of x is given

But what if the equation had no given variable and

they asked solve.
Example:
Now this is simultaneous equation { involving two or
Y=2x-1
more unknowns values involved in the same
Y+2x=5
equation.}
 3 ways to solve this equation simultaneous equations
Graph method
X+Y=0 2x-y=9
X-axis 0 1 2 X-axis 0 1 2

Y- 0 -1 -2
Y-axis -9 {2[0]- -7 {2[1]- -5 {2[2]-
{1+y=0 {2+y=0
axis } } y=9} y=9} y=9}
{x,y} [0,-9] [1,-7} [2,-5]
{x,y} {0,0} {1,-1} {2,-2}

The point of their

intersection is the answer
[3,-3] after plotting the
points on the graph
 Elimination method
3x+2y=7 X3 9x+6y=21
19x=95
5x-3y=37x2 10x-6y=74 Divide then by 19
And so x=5

For the elmination

method ill need the Now add equation 1
number that is and 2 and so the 6y and
multiplied by the -6y are cancel each
variable to be the same other

To find y the equation that you started with:

5x-3y=37 so, y= -4
3x+2y=7 2y= -8 25-3y=37
-3y=37-25
15 +2y=7 so, y= -4 -3y=12
 Substitution method
X+ y=3 convert X=3-y Now solve
3y+x=5 to ---> 3y+ (3-y)=5
3y+ (3-y) =5
3y+3 –y =5
2y+3=5
We write 3y + x=5
as 3y + (3-y) bc the
2y=5-3
x is equal to 3-y 2y=2 (now divide)
In this method you need Y=1
to re-arrange the
equation

Now the last step is to find x X +y=3 3y+x=5 x=3-y

{use any of the equations but X = 3-1 (3x1)+x=5 x=3-1
not 3y + (3-y)=5} X=2 3+x=5 x=2
X=2
