  • Simultaneous equation

Simultaneous equation

This is a finite sets of equations whose common solutions are sought. There are two unknown variables in simultaneous equation.

There are three different methods of solving simultaneous equation

  • Elimination method
  • Substitution method
  • Graphing method

Using elimination method

let

  • Cost of each shirt = x
  • Cost of each paint = y

2x + y = 6

x + y = 4

  • Subtract both equation

2x - x = 6 - 4

x = 2

  • Substitute x = 2 into (2)

x + y = 4

2 + y = 4

y = 4 - 2

y = 2

Therefore, the number of each shirt and each pair of pants is $2 and $2
