Page 2: Advanced Techniques for Solving Simultaneous Equations

This page delves deeper into solving simultaneous equations techniques, focusing on more complex problems and introducing the concept of adding or subtracting equations to eliminate variables.

The lesson begins with a series of equations for students to solve, ranging from simple linear equations to more complex ones involving negative numbers and fractions.

Highlight: The page emphasizes the importance of understanding sign rules when working with negative numbers in equations.

Example: When multiplying or dividing negative numbers, if the signs are different, the answer is negative. For instance, -5 × 5 = -25.

The lesson then moves on to the technique of adding or subtracting equations in simultaneous equation systems to eliminate variables.

Example: In the system 9x - 4y = 19 and 9x + 4y = 20, adding the equations eliminates the y variable, making it easier to solve for x.

The page provides several worked examples of solving simultaneous equations, demonstrating various techniques including substitution and elimination methods.

Vocabulary: Elimination - a method of solving simultaneous equations by adding or subtracting equations to remove one variable.

The lesson concludes with a set of practice problems for students to apply the techniques they've learned.

Highlight: The page reinforces the importance of checking solutions by substituting the found values back into both original equations.

This comprehensive guide provides students with a solid foundation in understanding simultaneous equations basics, preparing them for more advanced mathematical concepts.

Page 1: Introduction to Simultaneous Equations

This page introduces the concept of simultaneous equations and provides examples of solving equations with one variable before moving on to systems with two variables.

Definition: Simultaneous equations are a set of equations that must be solved together to find the values of multiple unknown variables.

The page begins with simple equations where x is given as 4, and students are asked to solve for various expressions. This serves as a warm-up exercise to ensure understanding of basic algebraic concepts.

Example: If x = 4, solve for 2x = 8. The solution is straightforward: 244 = 8, which is true.

The lesson then progresses to more complex equations, including quadratic expressions and equations with fractions.

Highlight: The page emphasizes the importance of substitution in solving simultaneous equations.

A real-world example is provided involving the cost of coffee and tea, demonstrating how simultaneous equations can be applied to practical situations.

Example: Two coffees and one tea cost €1.40, while three coffees and one tea cost €1.70. By setting up and solving simultaneous equations, students can determine that coffee costs 30p.

The page concludes with practice problems, encouraging students to apply the methods they've learned.

Vocabulary: Substitution - the process of replacing a variable in an equation with its equivalent expression from another equation.
