Section 3.1 Two Variable Linear Equations  A set of two or more linear equations that each contain two variables.  These equations represent lines that will intersect, overlap, or be parallel to each other.

 When these lines intersect or overlap each other they are said to be consistent. This means they have at least one point of intersection. If there is only one point of intersection, the lines are independent. If there is more than one point of intersection, the lines are dependent.  When two lines do not intersect, they are said to be inconsistent because the lines are parallel.

Section 3.1 Two Variable Linear Equations  Systems of two linear equations are usually solved using either the elimination method or the substitution method.  The elimination method uses a process of removing one of the two variables simultaneously from both equations through addition of equal but opposite coefficients. In blue we have y = 3x - 2, and in red we have y = -x + 2.

Section 3.1 Two Variable Linear Equations In blue we have y = 3x - 2, and in red we have y = -x + 2. Blue 3x – y = 2 Red x + y = 2 4x = 4 With the variable y having equal but opposite values we can add the two equations together and eliminate the y variable. We get 4x = 4. This allows x = 1, and by inserting x = 1 back into the equation we can see that y = 1.

Section 3.1 Two Variable Linear Equations  The substitution method uses a process of rewriting one of the two equations by isolating one of the variables and then substituting the equation into the other equation. In blue we have y = 3x - 2, and in red we have y = -x + 2. With both equations in the form of y equals, we can substitute the 2 nd equation into the first and we get: -x + 2 = 3x – 2. Solving for x we get -4x = -4 and x = 1.

Practice Elimination Method 2x + y = 10  4(2x + y = 10)  8x + 4y = 40 3x – 4y = x = 30 x = 30 / 11 2( 30 / 11 ) + y = 10  y = 110 / / 11 = 50 / 11 ; y = 50 / 11 5x - y = 9  4(5x - y = 9)  20x - 4y = 36 2x + 4y = 42 22x = 78 x = 39 / 11 5( 39 / 11 ) - y = 9  y = 195 / / 11 = 96 / 11 ; y = 96 / 11

Section Matrices  Matrix – A rectangle array of terms (elements) arranged in columns and rows. A matrix with m rows and n columns is called an m x n matrix, (read m by n matrix).  Matrices are also used to determine solutions for multiple variable linear equations. This technique can be used as an alternative to elimination or substitution methods.

Equal Matrices – Two matrices are equal if and only they have the same dimensions and are equal element by element. = YXYX 2x – 6 2y This expression states that Y = 2x – 6 and x = 2y. Using the substitution method, we see that Y = 2(2y) – 6 and so y = 2, x = 4.

Cramer’s Rule Cramer’s Rule begins with the solving of the determinant for the system followed by the determinants for each of the variables within the system. The determinant for each of the variables is calculated by first substituting the solution column values for the variable column values and then worked on as a 2 x 2 matrix.
