Lesson 3.2 Linear Equation in Two Variables PDF

The document defines and provides examples of linear equations in two variables. It explains that a linear equation can be written in the standard form of Ax + By = C, where A, B, and C are real numbers and A and B are not equal to zero. It also defines solutions of a linear equation as ordered pairs that make the equation true. Examples are provided to demonstrate determining if an ordered pair is a solution by substituting the values into the equation. Steps for finding solutions of a linear equation are outlined.

Solutions of a Linear Equation


■ Ordered pairs that make the equation true
Solutions of a Linear Equation
Determine if the given ordered pair is a solution of x + 3y = 8.
a. (2, 2) b. (-2, -2) c. (-1, 3)

a. Substitute 2 for x and 2 b. Substitute -2 for x and -2


for y. for y.
x + 3y = 8 x + 3y = 8
2 + 3(2) = 8 -2 + 3(-2) = 8
2+6=8 -2 - 6 = 8
8=8 -8 = 8
Therefore, (2,2) is a solution Therefore, (-2,-2) is not a
solution

Solutions of a Linear Equation
Find three solutions of 4x + y = 12.

If x = 0,then If x = 1,then If x = 3,then


4x + y =12 4x + y =12 4x + y =12
4(0) + y = 12 4(1) + y = 12 4(3) + y = 12
0 + y =12 4 + y =12 12 + y =12
y = 12 y = 12 – 4 y = 12 – 12
y=8 y=0
(0,12) (1,8) (3,0)
