Understanding Linear Equations Systems

What is a System of Linear Equations?

A system of linear equations consists of two or more linear equations with the same variables. For example:

2x + 3y = 8

4x - y = 1

Solution Methods

  • Substitution Method
    • Solve one equation for a variable
    • Substitute into other equations
    • Best for simple systems
  • Elimination Method
    • Add or subtract equations
    • Eliminate variables one by one
    • Effective for larger systems
  • Gaussian Elimination
    • Convert to row echelon form
    • Back substitution
    • Systematic approach
