Graphical solution of simultaneous
linear equations
Simultaneous linear equations
• Any two linear graphs will meet at a point, unless they are parallel.
• At this point, the two equations simultaneously share the same x- and y-coordinates.
• This point is referred to as the solution to the two simultaneous linear equations.
• Simultaneous equations can be solved graphically or algebraically.
Graphical solution
• This method involves drawing the graph of each equation on the same set of axes.
• The intersection point is the simultaneous solution to the two equations.
• An accurate solution depends on drawing an accurate graph.
• Graph paper or graphing software can be used.
Use the graph of the given simultaneous equations below to
determine the point of intersection and, hence, the solution
of the simultaneous equations.
x + 2y =4
y = 2x — 3
Point of intersection (2, 1)
Solution: x = 2 and y = I
For the following simultaneous equations, use substitution to check if the given pair of coordinates,
(5, —2), is a solution.
3x — 2y = 19 [1]
4y +
x = —3 [2]
3x — 2y = 19 [1] Check equation [2]:
4y + x = —3 [2] LHS = 4y + x RHS = —3
Check equation [1]: = 4(-2) +5
2y = —8+ 5
LHS = 3x — RHS = 19 =-3
= 3(5) — 2(-2) LHS = RHS
= 15+4
=19 In both cases, LHS = RHS. Therefore, the
LHS = RHS solution set (5, —2) is correct.

Solving simultaneous linear
equations using substitution
• There are two algebraic methods which can be used to solve simultaneous equations.
• They are the substitution method and the elimination method.
Substitution method
• This method is particularly useful when one (or both) of the equations is in a form where
one of the two variables is the subject.
• This variable is then substituted into the other equation, producing a third equation with only
one variable.
• This third equation can then be used to determine the value of the variable.
Solve the following simultaneous equations using the substitution method.
y = 2x — 1 and 3x + 4y = 29
V = 2x — 1
3x + 4y = 29
Substituting (2x — 1) into [2]:
3x + 4(2x — 1) = 29
3x + 8x — 4 = 29 [3]
1 lx — 4 = 29
1 lx = 33
x = 3
Substituting x = 3 into [1]:
y = 2(3) — 1
= 6
— 1
=5
Solution: x = 3, y = 5 or (3, 5)
