Solving Linear and Non-Linear Simultaneous Equations

This document discusses solving linear and non-linear simultaneous equations. It defines linear and non-linear equations, explains that simultaneous equations involve finding solutions that satisfy all equations at once, and provides examples of solving simultaneous equations where one is linear and one is non-linear. It also discusses finding the range of values for a variable where a line will intersect, touch, or not intersect a curve, and gives an example of solving a real-world problem involving simultaneous equations to find the side lengths of two squares.
