  • 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. 

    • Working with simultaneous equations

      Practise solving simultaneous equations graphically and by substitution by trying this activity: Quadratic systems.
