What is a Linear Simultaneous Equation?
Two lines will always intersect unless they are parallel. The way to find the point of intersection on a graph involves you solving the two equations and can involve two methods, graphically or algebraically. The following videos will explain the algebraic method. The algebraic method involves using either the substitution method or elimination method to solve the two equations and find the point of intersection. This post focusses specifically on using the substitution method in order to solve simultaneous linear equations in HSC Standard Math.
