In equations with two or more unknown variables we use simultaneous equations to solve for the unknowns. We can solve equations simultaneously in the following ways:
- Algebraically using either the method of elimination or substitution.
- Graphically by drawing the graphs and finding the point where they intersect.
-
Solve simultaneous equations by substitution
Watch the next video for examples of the method of substitution to solve simultaneous equations involving quadratic equations.
-
Solve simultaneous equations graphically
We can find the solution to a system of equations graphically by drawing the graphs and finding the point(s) of intersection. The next video explains this concept using an example.
