Simultaneous
Equations

L/ Objective: Solve a pair of simultaneous equations with


same coefficients.

L/Outcomes: Will be able to Apply algebraic skill to solve the


equations to find two unknown values.
STARTER Solve:

a) 5x + 2 = 32

b) 2(3+ 4x) - 2 = 3- 5(1-x)

d. Substitute x= -5 in 2 (5-3x)+5
What are they? The simultaneous equation is
an equation that involves two or
more quantities that are related
using two or more equations. It
includes a set of few independent
• Simply 2 equations equations.
– With 2 unknowns
– Usually x and y
• To SOLVE the equations means we find
values of x and y that
– Satisfy BOTH equations [work in]
– At same time [simultaneously]
Solving Simultaneous Equations – Example
Bronze: We have 2 unknowns: x and y SAME SIGN
Solve: 3x + 2y = 12 SUBTRACT
(1)
2x + 2y = 10 (2)
Solving Simultaneous Equations – Example 2
Bronze: We have 2 unknowns: x and y
DIFFERENT
Solve: 4x + 3y = 32
(1) SIGN ADD
5x – 3y = 13 (2)
Solving Simultaneous Equations – Example 3
"Tom has some marbles and pencils. He counted a total of 8
items, and the total cost was $12. If marbles cost $2 each
and pencils cost $1 each, how many marbles and pencils
does Tom have?"
REAL LIFE EXAMPLES OF SIMULTANEOUS EQUATIONS
1.Budgeting: Suppose you have a monthly budget with multiple expenses and
sources of income. You might set up simultaneous equations to represent your income
and expenses. For instance, if you earn $x from your job, spend $y on rent, $z on
groceries, and have a total of $w in savings after all expenses, you could set up
equations like:
1. Income: x
2. Expenses: y+z
3. Savings:x−(y+z)=w
2.Mixing Ingredients: In cooking or chemistry, you might need to mix different
substances to achieve a desired result. For example, if you're making a fruit smoothie
with a certain amount of fruit A and fruit B, and you want to ensure the total volume of
the smoothie is a specific value, you'd set up equations based on the quantities and
volumes of each ingredient.
3.Time and Distance Problems: When traveling at different speeds or distances,
simultaneous equations can help solve problems related to time and distance. For
instance, if you're driving a car and you know the speed and time traveled, you can
calculate the distance using the equation: Distance = Speed × Time.
4.Business and Economics: In business, simultaneous equations can be used for
optimization problems, such as maximizing profit or minimizing costs. For example, a
company might use simultaneous equations to determine the optimal pricing strategy
considering production costs, demand, and revenue goals.
5.Engineering and Physics: In engineering and physics, simultaneous equations are
used extensively to model and solve complex systems. For instance, when designing a
