Solving First Degree Equations with Two Unknowns

Sponsored Links

First degree equations with two unknowns can be expressed as

a 1 x + b 1 y = c 1 (1)

a2x + b2y = c2(2)

Example - Two Equations with Two Unknowns

The two equations

3 x + 5 y = 7

4 x - 3 y = 19 <

with the two unknown x and y can be solved by rearranging (1) to

y = (7 - 3 x) / 5

and substituting this expression for y in (2)

4 x - 3 ((7 - 3 x) / 5 ) = 19

- the value for x can then be calculated to

x = 4

By substituting this value for x in expression 1

3 4 + 5 y = 7

- the value for y can be calculated to

y = -1
