A linear equation is an equation of the type:
y=ax+by=ax+b

A system of two linear equations with two unknowns is a pair of adjacent linear equations or written one below the other, either within braces or without graphic signs.

A system of two linear equations

To solve a system of equations, several steps must be taken:

  • Isolate the variables in all the equations.
  • Place possible values to the isolated variables (for example Y=0,1,2Y=0,1,2.
  • Compare two equations (it is advisable to illustrate them on a graph).
  • Find the point of intersection of the two equations.
