What Are Simultaneous Equations and Inequalities?
Simultaneous equations
Some real-life situations are dependent on two or more variables. If a situation is dependent on two variable, we require two equations representing the relationship between the variables.
Solving those two equations at the same time will help us find out the values of both the variables. Similarly, if the scenario is dependent on three variables, we need to solve three equations to find the values of three variables.
Equations can be solved simultaneously using two methods:
- Solution by substitution
- Solution by elimination
Inequalities
In some scenarios, the solution lies within a range of values instead of being exact. For example, x>5, y<-7, z ≤-9, p ≥-3 and many more. These are inequalities. An inequalities is solved very similar to an equation.
However, there is a difference when an inequality is multiplied or divided by a negative number.
The solutions of an inequalities can also be represented graphically.
Example: Show the inequalities y ≥ 3x + 6 & (b) y > x2 + 6
Solution: Replacing the inequality with = in y ≥ 3x + 6, we get y = 3x + 6. A solid line is used because the line is included in the solution.
