Linear and Non Linear Simultaneous Equations CSEC TOPIC

The document contains 11 examples of linear and non-linear equation word problems from past exams between 1964-2005. The problems involve systems of equations related to rectangles, plots, circles, and other geometric shapes. The equations use variables to represent lengths, widths, areas, radii and involve addition, subtraction, multiplication and exponents. The problems require solving the systems of equations to determine the values of the variables.
