Linear equations in two variables
A pair of linear equations in two variables is said to
form a system of linear equations.
For Example, 2x-3y+4=0
x+7y+1=0
Form a system of two linear equations in variables x
and y.
The general form of linear equations in two variables
x and y is
ax+by+c=0, where a=/=0, b=/=0
and a,b,c are real numbers.

A pair of linear equation in two variables, which
has a unique solution, is called a consistent pair of
linear equation.
A pair of linear equation in two variables, which
has no solution, is called a inconsistent pair of
linear equation.
A pair of linear equation in two variables, which
has infinitely many solutions, is called a consistent
or dependent pair of linear equation.
Linear equations in two variables
There are three algebraic methods for solving a
pair of equations :-
Substitution method
Elimination method
Cross-multiplication method
Linear equations in two variables
Let the equations be :-
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0 ………. (1)
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0 ……….. (2)
Choose either of the two equations say (1) and find
the value of one variable, say y in terms of x.
Now, substitute the value of y obtained in the
previous step in equation (2) to get an equation in
x.
Solve the equations obtained in the previous step to
get the value of x. Then, substitute the value of x
and get the value of y.
Let us take an example :-
x+2y=-1 ………(1)
2x-3y=12………(2)
By eq. (1)
x+2y=-1
x= -2y-1……(3)
Substituting the value of x in eq.(2), we get
2x-3y=12
2(-2y-1)-3y=12
-4y-2-3y=12
-7y=14
Y=-2
Putting the value of y in eq.(3), we get
x=-2y-1
x=-2(-2)-1
x=4-1
x=3
Hence, the solution of the equation is (3,-2).
Linear equations in two variables
In this method, we eliminate one of the two
variables to obtain an equation in one variable which
can be easily solved. Putting the value of this
variable in any of the given equations, the value of
the other variable can be obtained.
Let us take an example :-
3x+2y=11……….(1)
2x+3y=4………(2)
Multiply 3 in eq.(1) and 2 in eq.(2) and by subtracting
eq.(4) from (3), we get
9x+6y=33…………(3)
4x+6y=08………(4)
5x=25
⇒x=5
Putting the value of x in eq.(2), we get
2x+3y=4
2(5)+3y=4
10+3y=4
3y=4-10
3y=-6
y= -2
Hence, the solution of the equation is (5,-2)
Linear equations in two variables
Let the equations be :-
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0
a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
Then, x = y = 1
b1 c2 - b2 c1 c1a2 - c2 a1 a1b2 - a2b1
Or :-
a1x + b1y = c1
a2x + b2y = c2
Then, x = y = -1
b1 c2 - b2 c1 c1a2 - c2 a1 a1b2 - a2b1
In this method, we have put the values of
a1,a2,b1,b2,c1 and c2 and by solving it, we will get
the value of x and y.
Let us take an example :-
2x+3y=46
3x+5y=74
i.e. 2x+3y-46=0 ………(1)
3x+5y-74=0………(2)
Then, x = y = 1
x = y = 1
(3)(-74)–(5)(-46) (-46)(3)-(-74)(2) (2)(5)-(3)(3)
x = y = 1
(-222+230) (-138+148) (10-9)
b1 c2 - b2 c1 c1a2 - c2 a1 a1b2 - a2b1
so, x = y = 1
8 10 1
x = 1 and y = 1
8 1 10 1
x=8 and y=10
So, Solution of the equation is (8,10)
