1.7 Simultaneous linear/linear equations
Simultaneous linear/linear equations can be solved by
elimination or substitution. Both techniques should be
familiar.
Example T
At Level 2, you will be required to form simultaneous
equations from information given in a practical context.
Example U
Two identical washing machines and a drier sell for a
combined cost of $3 660.
The washing machine is $120 less than twice the cost of
the drier.
Solve using the elimination method.
3x – 5y = 11
2y = x – 4
Form and solve a pair of simultaneous equations to find
the cost of the washing machine.
Solution
Solution
Rearrange second equation to the same form as the first.
3x – 5y= 11
…(1)
Let x be the cost of a washing machine and y be the cost
of a drier.
–x + 2y= – 4
…(2)
From the information given:
2x + y = 3 660
Scale up equation (2) so that coefficients of x are
opposite amounts.
(2) × 3 = (3)
x = 2y – 120
–3x + 6y= –12
…(3)
Add to eliminate x:
Substitute x = 2y – 120 in the first equation.
2(2y – 120) + y= 3 660
y= –1
(1) + (3)
[combined cost is 2x + y]
4y – 240 + y= 3 660
[expanding]
Substitute y = –1 in either (1) or (2) to get x = 2.
The solution is (x,y) = (2,–1)
y= 780
x= 2 × 780 – 120 = 1 440
Graphics calculators can be used to solve
simultaneous linear/linear equations –
enter each equation in the form
ax + by = c
(some rearranging may be necessary first).
5y= 3 900 [rearranging and simplifying]
The washing machine costs $1 440.
Note: This problem was
solved using the
substitution method.
Exercise G: Simultaneous linear/linear equations
1. Solve using the elimination method. Give your answer as an ordered pair (x,y).
a. x – y = 5
b.
x +2y = –1
x + y = 5
3x +2y = 9
c. 2x – y = 3
3x + 2y = 22

Graphs and their features
Features of graphs
Points on a graph can be found by substituting suitable
x-values into its equation to find the related y-values.

To sketch the graph whose equation is y = x3, a table of
values is drawn up.

When drawing a graph, choose suitable scales for
the axes so that key features, such as intercepts and
symmetry, can be shown clearly.
A function is said to be
• increasing if its y-values increase as the x-values
increase. For example, the function y = x3 is
increasing for all values of x.
• decreasing if its y-values decrease as the x-values
increase.
Example B
The graph of the parabola y = (x – 2)2 – 5 is drawn.
[for example if x = –2 then y = (–2)3 = –8]

The points are plotted as ordered pairs (–2,–8), (–1,–1),
etc, and joined as shown.

To prove that three points A, B and C are collinear it
is necessary to show that the gradient of AB and the
gradient of BC are the same (if two lines have the same
slope and share a point, then they are one and the
same line).

Solution
In a circle of radius 1, the angle subtending an arc of
length 1 at the centre of the circle, is said to be of size
1 radian.
The circumference of a circle of radius 1 is 2π, so an
angle of 360° is equivalent to 2π radians.
Dividing by 2 gives the conversion relationship:
π radians = 180°
Using this relationship, angles can be converted between
degrees and radians. For example,
