Green Bridge Learning Resource For Simultaneous Linear Equations

Overview

Some problems involve two unknowns connected by two conditions. A pair of simultaneous equations captures both conditions at once, and solving the system gives the unique values that satisfy both. This is one of the most useful algebraic techniques in the specification.

You will learn two methods for solving linear simultaneous equations: elimination and substitution. Higher-tier students also connect the algebra to the point where two straight lines cross on a graph.
