To solve a system of two linear equations with two variables, we can use various methods. The two most common methods are the substitution method and the elimination method. Linear Equation Calculator:
Linear Equation Solver
Let’s say we have a system of two linear equations:
Method 1: Substitution Method
- Solve one of the equations for one variable
- Substitute the expression from step 1 into the other equation.
- Solve the resulting equation for the remaining variable.
- Substitute the value found in step 3 into the equation from step 1 to find the other variable’s value.
Method 2: Elimination Method
- Multiply one or both equations by appropriate constants so that the coefficients of one of the variables in both equations become the same (or multiples of each other).
- Add or subtract the equations to eliminate one of the variables. This will result in a new equation with only one variable.
- Solve the equation from step 2 for the remaining variable.
- Substitute the value found in step 3 into one of the original equations to find the other variable’s value.
